My wife and I just made a donation to help Nokie overcome his medical expenses. Would ask all to contribute what you can. Nokie has given us such great music and inspiration throughout his life. Let's "lift where we stand" and help this man.

Received from Judy today.  Any 1 remember JD Hogue from the 1980's?

Dear Friends and Fan Family,

Thank you for all the support you have given. Nokie continues to play his guitar with hope of being able to soon be on his way to entertaining the fans again. He has had allot of support from a very close friend to jam on the weekends which has made a huge difference. Besides it's just great to have JD around he is a very long time friend like a brother and a great player as many of you know. In the early 80's Nokie ask JD to take Don's place when he wanted to take some time off with The Ventures. So they are practicing Surf, Rock, Country, Blues and Jazz even hear a little Gospel from time to time. Great to hear these two playing together again. JD has been a awesome brother for Nokie these past few weeks.

Please continue to help support Nokie's Fund by passing this link to your email list, Twitter and FB page. The picture I am posting should take you back a few years. I do believe they was good years for many of us.
All our best for good health and great happiness for all.

God Bless,
Nokie & Judy Edwards
