Off Topic: Firefly Singer Needs You
Sonny Rhodes, the voice behind the Firefly Theme Song needs, you. Sonny is a lovely gentleman who gave something special and unique to Firefly fans, now is your chance to give something back. Details here.
“Sonny’s wife Ann called me with these details and hoped the Browncoats could help. Sonny hasn’t performed since October 2008, except for once or twice against his doctor’s wishes when he had to keep the power from being shut off and pay rent, and doing that made his condition worse. He just had an emergency hernia operation and needs to have two hip operations as soon as possible. Ann said he’ll likely be out of work for a few more months and, besides being in a lot of pain, is naturally quite worried about paying medical and rent bills. Sonny has vowed to be there for the Browncoats in the future and would appreciate any financial assistance that may be possible.” — Brian Wiser, (from the Firefly documentary “Done the Impossible” )Â Details here.
Done and done.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:37 amHi, if you haven’t heard, Sonny’s and Ann’s spirits are way up with the touching emails and donations that have come in. They are so grateful to everyone and so touched to know there is good in the world. Unfortunately, they aren’t out of the woods yet, so please donate if you haven’t done so.
Due to popular request, I encouraged Sonny to get a PO Box for those who don’t have credit cards or don’t like PayPal. Sonny’s MySpace page will be updated shortly with that address. Thank you!
