This concert was very touching for Eddie especially this year, in the sadness of Hurricane Katrina, The Columbine incident and the terrible attack on America on 9-11-01. This year's concert struck home especially hard for Eddie as he lost his older half-brother, Harold "Butchie" Hansen to a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy. GOD BLESS YOU BUTCHIE! (R.I.P.) I miss you brother, keep painting and I will too.
