Hey there, time traveller!

It was a gig like any other gig on Feb. 19. My bandmates and I were playing at the Double Decker Tavern and the night was going great.
Things then took a turn for the worst halfway through our second set. Our keyboard player, Mark Ross, collapsed and 911 was called. He was conscious but did not look good.
To make a long story short, Mark had a heart rate of 235 beats per minute and, thanks to the ambulance attendants arriving quickly and the paddles, he is alive and well — thank you, Brandon paramedics.
We, as a band, really wanted to help him pay his almost $700 ambulance bill. So on April 30, we had a “Mark is Alive” ambulance bill fundraiser at the Double Decker.
The tavern was packed full of awesome folks who came out to have a good time and throw in some cash to help out. We raised just over $400 and Doug Kool, owner and operator of Look Music, graciously covered the remainder of the ambulance bill.
We had a fantastic gig and Mark Ross, who has earned the name “Resilient Ross,” was on fire, played hard all night and did not miss a beat.
