If you are going to donate $0.01 to the Tom Smith fundraiser just to get the download link, just skip it. Instead, do something as equally helpful to the world, and go stab yourself in the face.

"Mr. Smith Goes to the Hospital - A Fast Fund Raiser for a Fast Filker"
http://www.partiallyclips.com/tomsmith/

Tom Smith (filkertom) is one of the nicest, most gracious and most talented musicians I've met. He can write a song in about the same time I can eat a bowl of cheese dip. (For those of you that know me, you know that's fast!)

Tom is a filker by trade, it's what he does solely for a living. While trying to get on a high stage at a recent show, he tore his quadricep, and badly. He will be in the hospital or at least assisted living for physical therapy for months, since he can't put any weight on that leg, and having had previous problems, that pretty much confines him to chair/bed.

(And before any of you say "I don't like filk," you better listen to Tom first. I'm not a big fan of traditional filk myself, but this man is downright FUNNY. If you remember me talking about a song called "Cat Macros", this is the guy. Also, "Tech Support For Dad" is a riot.)

This means he can't play any shows for the next few months, AND he'll be racking up medical bills galore since he has NO medical insurance.

Tom deserves all the support he can get. Please, if you have a few bucks to spare, go to the above site and donate what you can to him via PayPal. I know everyone's tapped right now, but anything will help.

As a bonus, you get access to 40+ cover versions of Tom's songs, many done just for this compilation!

Also, if you are a friend/fan of Tom's, please post this everywhere you can!
