Ailing RatDog Bassist Robin Sylvester Will Perform on Friday

Following two missed performances earlier this year, RatDog bassist Robin Sylvester will return to the stage this Friday as part of Ghosts of Electricity. The show, set to take place at the Hop Monk Tavern in Sebastopol, CA, will also feature fellow RatDog member Mark Karan along with Stu Allen (JGB), Greg Anton (Zero), Pat Nevins (Ragged Glory), and Mookie Siegel (David Nelson Band).

Sylvester has suffered ongoing health problems since 2010 when he missed RatDog’s shows in Jamaica that year due to health concerns. In February, it was reported that Robin is currently awaiting a kidney transplant. Donations to help defray Robin’s medical costs can be made to The Sweet Relief Musician’s Fund.

Tickets for Friday’s show are on sale now via Hop Monk’s website You can also win a pair of tickets by heading to the Ghosts of Electricity Facebook page and posting what you love about the band on their wall.

I do not live in Highland but I do work downtown. I have high speed inerntet access downtown in my office. That would be the basic norm for almost everyone in the downtown area. The residential base for downtown is still exceptionally small. The Shreve Memorial library comment is well taken. Another question has to be asked ,when could one get access to a public computer on the third floor at the downtown library? It is usually packed. The library needs more computer terminals as many of the users do not have the funds for a personal computer.The wifi concept in Highland seems much more logical.It is the residential area for many artists but also for many college age students and just starting out younger folks. It would also be a selling point for the neighborhood for potential residents.Highland is diverse and compact. I vote for Wifi in Highland. Can we get some signs printed by the artists and some bumper stickers? This is one time when the neighborhood needs to define the agenda for the City Council, not the other wya around. Maybe the artists could start with outdoor poster/ art in their yards to show support for the concept.Become activists or watch wifi go to some other neighboorhood.
