Rockabilly Blues

Rockabilly is one of the earliest style of rock-n-roll music and emerged in the early 1950's. MADCap Blues hosted the event and our lovely Angellica Lemieux was our DJ for the evening. She kicked the evening off with Jerry Lee Lewis "I'm on Fire" song. That set the tone for the evening. After 15 minutes into the event, Magi McBride announced 14,000 lindens had already been raised.

Angellica Lemieux kept the Rockabilly tunes rolling with such artist as Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Brian Setzer, Arlen Roth and many more. The Blues for Autism kiosk kept climbing too. By the end of the night we had collected 66,340 lindens. Awesome Job everyone!!!

This was our third event of Blues for Autism 2010. We started the evening with 282,019 lindens donated so far.

Everyone was sporting their hottest rockabilly attire.

Autism is diagnosed in 1 out of 110 children today making it more prevalent than childhood cancers, multiple sclerosis and cystic fibrosis combined. But there is hope. Education and awareness are KEY. Thanks for your support!!!
