Drummer Billy Higgins is sick again. The liver Higgins received in a transplant five years ago has shown signs of severe damage and he needs another transplant. He has been in and out of the hospital since the end of October and as has been unable to work. As a result, he does not have the money to pay his medical bills.
Higgins will go in for a final evaluation on February 5th, before being put on the transplant waiting list. Those who know him through personal association or through his music are pooling together to try and help him cover his medical and living expenses. A benefit was held in Los Angeles to raise money to support his medical costs, but more money is needed. Higgins’ friends, supporters and fans are being asked to help.
For information on how to donate money, please e-mail Larry Grenadier at [email protected] or call 845/561-3608.

Looking back, the 46-year-old Butler says today, the driving forces that led to his overcoming apartheid-the formal policy of racial separation and economic discrimination finally dismantled in 1993-were family, faith and abundant talent.
“When we were kids, our parents never talked about the ANC [African National Congress] or Nelson Mandela,” he says. Butler was raised as the youngest child in a large family. They lived in a house patched together by corrugated tin and cardboard, in the “coloreds only” township of Athlone near Cape Town. “They never talked about struggles so we never knew what was happening.”
