Passing of Lil Dave Thompson

On February 14, 2010, blues guitarist Lil Dave Thompson was killed in a car wreck on his way home to Mississippi from Touring the East Coast.  I considered Dave to be a good friend of mine and I will miss him dearly.  I used to call him at least once a month just to hear stories of how the music business would drive him crazy.  We'd laugh and share stories that only road musicians can appreciate.  He was a true Bluesman and a true talent!

Lil' Dave is survived by his children:  David Jr. (20), Danielle (19), Shequeena (18), Shirleiah (16) and Destiny (13); sisters Patricia, Barbara Denise (twin sister), Jennifer and Pasty Thompson,  Zenovia Henderson and Rose Marie Richmond; and brothers John, Sam, Elijah Allen and Tyrone Thompson. 

Any help you can provide to the family would be greatly appreciated.  The expenses are mounting and Lil' Dave had no insurance.  Please help.  Even the smallest amounts can make a difference.
