Hi, John -- hope you are doing well. From what I know, the tributes being put together by Mark Linn, et al, are not going to be attended by Johnny or BL. The benefit that we are working on will hopefully include BL along with others who are friends of LOVE. I wish I could tell you more because there seems to be alot of confusion due to this Love Society. Nobody that I know has any idea who these people are, other than the fact that Mark Linn was instrumental in getting Arthur a record deal on False Start (I think that's the one)when he was his manager.
The most important thing to remember is that Arthur needs help. Anybody who can provide a way for him to get these much needed funds has my support. That's the goal, right?
LOVE and Peace

| Mark Linn was Arthur's manager in the early 90's. |

Mark Linn is the fellow that got Arthur the deal at New Rose for what would become Five String Serenade.

Michael Stuart e-mailed me over this past week-end
quote:
Yesterday, I was contacted by Mark Linn in Tennessee asking me to be a part of the benefit. He seems like a real nice guy.
finelyfree...Michael is very supportive of efforts to help Arthur. Please get in touch with Michael (I'm sure you already have  )as I know he would LOVE to gig with Johnny, who Michael also has the utmost respect for

Official statement from Baby Lemonade:
"We would like to clarify the widely forwarded Arthur Lee tribute email regarding Baby Lemonade; Baby Lemonade were never fully confirmed for this, either as a Band or as backing musicians and presently are not committed to this or any organized benefit for Arthur. They have made it known that they would like to play some gigs this summer with the intention of playing Love songs mixed with Baby Lemonade songs and donating the proceeds to Arthur's cause.
It is our understanding that Baby Lemonade extends it's concern and heartfelt prayers to Arthur and his family, in hopes that he has a safe and speedy recovery.
Baby Lemonade recorded and toured as LOVE from '92-'96 and '02-'05 with Arthur Lee, garnering worldwide success and a renewed interest in the 60's Phychedelic/ Pop Band, before deciding to disband the group after Lee refused at the last minute to get on an airplane last July to tour europe." |

It's so nice to finally get an official statement from BL, who have gone above and beyond in their support for AL over the years. This is very generous of them
Best of luck to Mike and the guys.
LOVE and Peace |
