On October 21, 2020, the musical world was shaken when we heard that Jeff Thomas, our friend and colleague, suffered from a major heart attack. Due to 100% blockage and a lack of oxygen, it was required that  he remain medically unconscious in the ICU for a week.  The medical staff was not expecting him to pull through, and if he did, there was fear was that his mental capacity could be seriously compromised.  

After a week of fighting against a seemingly impossible recovery (and having a wife that was relentless with the doctors), HE HAS DEFIED ALL ODDS!  After another week in the hospital, three stents later--and the shock of the hospital staff, he has been released from the hospital and is HOME. Anyone who knows him would not be surprised that within 48 hours he picked up his trombone for the first time! Despite his tenacity, the road to full recovery is long, but it is with sincere hope that his road to return to the stage will be short.  Due to not having health insurance, they are looking at insurmountable hospital bills and getting back to full time work will take time.  

Please considering donating to the Thomas family to help relieve the strain of this major financial burden. All donations go directly to Jeff and Kathy. Your outpouring of love and support is both humbling and deeply appreciated.
