Hey Ken, it was great seeing Snooks at the Rock n' Bowl last year Monday in between weekends. Even got to hang out with Ellen (mymecca) a little bit. Snooks played until he was worn out. My hope is that his latest medical set back will quickly resolve itself and Snooks will enjoy many more birthdays.

Snooks had some surgery done last week and from what I hear, things went well.

Got this from the Rock and Bowl email..
Hello Rock 'n' Bowlers,
I wanted to update you on Snooks Eaglin and Harry Ravain.
Snooks has been hospitalized recently, but he has been released and is doing
better. Snooks required some units of blood during his hospital stay, and
those units were charged to his hospital bill. Ochsner Blood Bank has
organized a replacement blood drive for him. Units of blood are very
expensive; a replacement drive puts donated units back in the blood bank and
Snooks gets a credit on his hospital bill for each unit donated. Thus, a
replacement drive helps keep the blood supply at good levels and helps him
with his medical expenses.
If you are able to donate blood, please call the Ochsner Blood Bank and tell
them you would like to donate in the name of Fird "Snooks" Eaglin. If you
live out of town, you can donate at your local blood bank or hospital, and
give them Ochsner's contact info and Snooks' name. The hospitals will
handle all the paperwork.

Thank you.
Also, local drummer Harry Ravain has been battling lung cancer for a little
over a year now. Harry does all kinds of musical things, but most people
know him from Benny Grunch & the Bunch. His prognosis is greatly improved
and it is possible for him to now have surgery to remove part of his lung so
he can be cancer-free. Rock 'n' Bowl and his friends will host a benefit on
Sunday, February 8 to help defray his medical expenses. A $5.00 donation
will get you entertainment by the following: Benny Grunch, Bobby Cure, Earl
Stanley, Fleur de Lis NOLA, John Blancher (!), The Nobles, New Orleans
Quarter Notes, Orleans, Paul Varisco, Phat Tuesday, acclaimed hypnotist
Amazing Dr. Z, and much more. For more information, please call Alan Reese
at 504-888-9586 or 504-289-2167. You can check up on Harry by reading his
blog, http://harryravain.blogspot.com/
Thanks again and hope to see you soon!
