I want to make my non-readership aware of the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. It's a non-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing financial assistance for musicians in need of medical care. I'd love to see the organisation be a well-known resource for musicians in need of mental health care if there's even a chance that it would prevent suicides such as those of Mark Linkous and his friend Vic Chessnut, but it's having enough trouble just keeping afloat right now. Linkous' family is accepting donations in lieu of flowers to be donated to Sweet Relief and the organisation helped out Chessnut with his physical health care in the mid 90s by means of a tribute album.
You've probably heard Pearl Jam's cover of Sweet Relief founder Victoria Williams' "Crazy Mary", an and and off live staple of theirs; the first compilation's profits went towards her own medical expenses. Here's a clip of a performance of that song:
