Hacienda Brother Chris Gaffney was diagnosed with liver cancer earlier this year. He is about to begin an extreme course of chemotherapy in hopes of eradicating the disease.
Although he has health insurance, it will not cover all the costs associated with his treatment. To help defray the costs, friends and family have created a web site for those who want to contribute towards Chris’s recovery. Click here for more information.
I first heard Gaffney when he toured with Dave Alvin several years ago. I had no idea who he was but am forever grateful to Alvin for introducing me to a talented singer and performer. Here is a clip of Gaffney and the Hacienda Brothers in action.
We at Twangville send our best wishes to Chris for a speedy recovery.
