            <description><![CDATA[<p>It is with heavy hearts that we announce the loss of a great talent. Tony passed away this past Sunday, November 21st. He was a tremendous talent that few will ever witness. Tony simply loved the guitar, playing them, making them, and working on them.</p><br /><p>Please keep his family in your prayers for their untimely loss. Tony we will miss you, but we also know that you will be in our hearts every time we take the stage. We have lost a great talent, a great songwriter, and a southern gentlemen. Heaven has gained a new lead guitar player in Rockn' Roll Heaven. Fly on Freebird you are free at last.</p><br /><p>The Second Helping Band</p>]]></description>

            <title>Chris McCallister resigns  from Second Helping</title>
            <link>http://second-helping.com/news.html#43</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>It is with heavy heart and regret that I must resign from Second Helping effective immediately. My mother is gravely ill. Mom has a terrible heart condition and my Step-Father is getting to old to take care of her. As a result, my family and I will have to travel to West Virginia more and more. It is believed that mom may live a few months to a few years, we simply do not know. I am having a difficult time watching this vibrant, Sicilian woman, who is my rock, fade away. We Italians are a tough group of folk but this has overwhelmed me. My mom means everything to me and at the same time I can not commit to shows with SH. I hope everyone understands that this is something I must do. I must be there for my Mother. The band will replace me with an amazing guitar player within the next few days. They will announce this soon. I would like to say it has been a humbling experience for me to have played with such an array of talented musicians like yourselves. Each one of you are special in my eyes.</p><br /><p>&nbsp;</p><br /><p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Gary Muchmore</span></strong>&nbsp; - Second Helping is your baby, you pushed us to do this in 1988, when no one elses was doing this.

I luv ya man :-)</p><br /><p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">The Girls</span></strong> &ndash; Fleeta, Lauren, Debi, Kathy, Snowflake, Pamand Trish&hellip;you sing like angels!</p><br /><p>&nbsp;</p><br /><p>If I missed someone, I do apologize. Thank you to each one of you. I wish all of you great success and loads of happiness.
