West Side blues guitar great
Eddie C.
Campbell suffered a heart attack and stroke while on tour in
Germany. Here is an urgent message from Eddie’s “manager and mother of
his children” Barbara Mayson Campbell: “He is out of intensive care and stabilized. However, he is at present paralyzed on his right side. We need your help. Time is of the essence; Eddie’s prognosis for a full recovery is dependent upon him receiving the appropriate medical attention including neuro/physical therapy. Eddie has no medical coverage in Germany and, due to his condition, he may only be able to fly commercially with a medical escort or in an air ambulance. The costs will be staggering in the coming weeks and months. Donations are being accepted through the Eddie C. Campbell Assistance Fund PayPal account at the following link:

I appreciate your good will, your prayers and, if possible, your
financial support.” A benefit concert is planned for Sunday Feb. 17 at Rosa’s, 3420 W. Armitage, Chicago. The organizers have put together a “spectacular” lineup of blues talent (see above flier). Doors open at 5 p.m. Showtime is 6 - 11 p.m. there is a $25 cover. ### |
