Country Music Hall of Famer Charlie Louvin is putting together a benefit to help with Webb's expenses and he's enlisted some major league talent for the May 19th show at the Ernest Tubb Record Shop's Texas Trouba dour Theater On Music Valley Drive. The show will run from 1-5 pm with admission set at $10.oo (kids 9 and under free) Line up: Charlie Louvin, Del Reeves Stonewall Jackson,Jeanie Seely, Jimmie C. Newman, Jan Howard, and Billy Walker, Grand Ol Opry Staff Band and Eddie Stubbs.[[This message was edited by Larry Miller on 05 May 2002 at 08:42 AM.]

What can I do to help? Jim is a great person and a great steel player. I have known him for years. I would be more than happy to play dobro at the show or give a donation. Jim did me a favor by playing on Shot's tribute album. What can I do? Terry

Larry, Is there an address where those of us not in the Nashville area and not able to attend the show could send a contribution?

Tommy, I assume you could send any contributions to the Grand Ol Opry to either Del or Charlie.
