Esau Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Heres hoping for a full recovery. Dearest Friends,It is with great sadness that we must type the news of Vassar's recent diagnosis (March 11th) of small cell lung cancer. He is in good hands of confident doctors, and the hearts and prayers of family, friends, and fans. His faith in God, his always upbeat spirit, and the happiness he has brought through his music will all play a role in the hopeful miracle we pray for. And something not to be forgotten, he is in the great care of his daughter Midge and son-in-law George. Vassar is also blessed with a wonderful and supportive extended family.In light of these health developments, Vassar will be unable to make scheduled performances for the month of March. Please stay tuned to the website for any further cancellations. He is receiving immediate treatment for this form of aggressive cancer.The beauty of Vassar's music matches the kindness of Vassar's soul. We ask all who have ever been touched by him to please pray for a speedy recovery. God performs miracles everyday, and noone deserves it more then this true gentleman.For those who recently placed orders, please allow some added time for delivery. We do apologize and hope for your understanding.Please sign the guestbook to give Vassar something to read as he starts this journey. Cards are welcome and can be sent to the PO BOX listed on the contact page. No phones calls please. http://www.vassarclements.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 - what a genius. I remember a friend having had the chance with his band to open for the Band, and his prerogative for the night was getting a chance to chat with Garth Hudson about what it was like to play with Vassar. Let's hope the "living" part of "living legend" holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
