Nat Myers announces New Year’s Eve gig

Just a heads up about this wonderfully brave young man. You will know if you visit here regularly I have been a fan since his outset but that he should have been struck by a severely invasive bout of cancer and his reaction to it has astonished me and he has tried beyond belief to keep his music commitment going ever onward and I have posted clips and songs wherever possible he even played a gig earlier on and now he is planning to play in Athens Georgia for New Years Eve.

Follow the links to his back story below  . . . . . 

I wish I could make it across but doubt this would ever be the case so it is entirely down to my American pals to see if they plan to be anywhere near. Give him my best if you can make it!

 

Nat says on his Facebook page:

"If I am truly livin my last days, I am livin em good. The Boys from @blackberrysmoke asked if I’d roll deep to their territo for New Years. I told em say less! Georgia, I’ll see you December 31st in Athens! Maybe I’ll bust out a Blind Willie, or Curley Weaver, or some Buddy Moss runs.”

Young man is nothing if not EXTRAORDINARY!

we also posted a Blacberry Smoke track a while ago and there is another link below

NAT MYERS NEWS! (+ "75 -71”)

 Nat seems to be doing really well and has posted this from his Facebook page . . . . . . . 

Aye y’all,

This Friday I begin the 1st of 6 rounds of intense chemotherapy. 3 week treatment regimens over a course of 6 cycles, including 5 days as an in patient each cycle, amounting to 30 days overnight by the end.

The days I have experienced recently have rejuvenated my soul, my stamina, & I’m ready to begin what are sure to be some of the most difficult days and nights of my life. But im grinning in the face of my affliction, ready to fight back and try to reclaim as much of myself as I can.

I can’t thank nobody enough for their help in keeping me optimistic, positive, & hopeful, the ones who have donated to my GoFundMe & those who continue to share it, as well the ones who have thought of me or shared their own triumphs against what I’m facing, or something similar.

One needs a reminder from time to time to live by one’s own odds again.

It’s crazy to me that this journey started a little over a month ago. Shows lined up, a good year brewing. The absurdity of life really Oklahoma and so many had so quickly dismissed me and seemed to take bets on my odds. And when my odds improved, failed to provide me that Hope quickly.

I am thankful for the team of palliative and oncology doctors who advocated for me down in South Carolina.

But, now, I am forever appreciative to the doctors and nurses who I know are going to use every bit of their mettle and cunning to help me write more pages from the book of life. All thanks to the sarcoma team at OSU here.

Greatful for the friends who have made these past days so important. @muleresonatorguitars @love_cycles @_dre_alejandro7 @carolhoepner @kdelefterin thank you for visiting and bringing what seemed so elusive to me at first: harmony and care.

Wish me Godspeed, wish me strength.

He says: 

"I have with great reluctance begun a GoFundMe to help with the medical expenses that this fight will be accruing, and I appreciate anybody who can contribute something. THIS IS MY ONLY GOFUNDME, and nobody else has permission to be raising money on my behalf under any other”:
