Help Sonny Jr, Gary Onofrio, overcome Medical challenges

Sonny Jr, Gary Onofrio, has been my friend since 1980 when he came out West. He blew my mind with the harp, it seemed like he could sound like any of the Blues Masters, and I used to call him "The Rich Little of the Harp." We used to hang out, smoke joints and play harp together, he gave me a great many pointers, and he'd come sit in with my band and burn the bar down.When we talk about people who can play all that great Sonny Terry stuff, Gary is definitely one of if not the best. He did in fact travel with, take care of and play duets live onstage with Sonny himself !

This was ALL before he took on his next life as an amp maker, making some of the best harmonica-specific, and just best amps in general, that I've ever heard, seemingly sparing nothing in a quest for excellence.

He's had an unbelievably bad time in recent years with joint replacements gone bad, spinal and sacral surgeries, extremely painful degenerative bone situations, and the financial disaster that results from such disabling and expensive things. I've been in touch with him, got his permission to do this, any money goes straight to his personal account, he is as I said in lot of pain and is scared about the finances but sends his best to all of us harmonicats and thanks in advance!
