August, 2003 — Ian Hunter, Lenny Kaye, Mary Lee’s Corvette, Garland Jeffreys, canyon lake homes

Escovedo was hospitalized in April of this year after a performance of his play, By The Hand Of The Father after suffering from complications related to Hepatitis C, the reaction and outpouring was instant. Like so many before him, Mr. Escovedo is without insurance to cover the costs of the insurmountable medical costs involved in treating this illness.
