THANK YOU, CANCER

By now you’ve heard that i’m about to start a battle with cancer in and about my throat. You bet this is going to be a rough summer, maybe year, or more. So folks had the idea of a Vance GoFundMe, my web manager Amy started one, we’ve reached our goal and we’re still climbing (my idea of a “BroFunder" got shot down pretty quick..)

I never knew so many people cared enough to donate:

~ The softest-spoken, most orally-careful, shy people plastering their notes to me with "F( )CK CANCER"

~ The crustiest most manly Conservative men friends calling and writing “I love you”, hearts and all

~ People I thought couldn’t stand the likes of me

~ Anonymous folks

~ Folks that I *know* have no money

~ Widows of Old White Men

~ Wifeless Old White Men

~ Ultra MAGA right-winged bootstraps folks

~ Left Wing Conspiracy theorists glow from light bulbs causes autism folks

~ Gay people

~ Trans people

~ Other folks singers

~ Cousins

~ Folks from college like Larry that I haven’t heard from in 45 years

~ Folks from high school that I thought were dead

~ Neighbors

~ Neighbor’s children

~ My accountant

~ Students

~ Students' parents

~ Students' children

~ My best friend

~ A boss

~ Performance hall executive directors

~ New England Coffeehouses

~ My booking agency

~ My tennis buddy from high school - we’d shovel off courts to play

~ My travel agent

~ Guys from my guitar shop

~ Canadians

~ Guy I just wrote a check to because he overpaid me.

~ A Boston Globe reporter

~ A Hit Songwriter

~ Some folks I know that have had cancer

~ My vocal therapist from 25 years ago

~ The first person I ever AOL messaged

~ ASL language specialists

~ Blind people

~ Deaf people

~ I had no idea your name was “Christian” - I thought it was “Chris”

~ Indian from India folks

~ Famous actors

~ Wives of bass players

~ Husbands of ex-girlfriends

~ Black people

~ My ex-agent

~ Owner of the record company that dropped me

Thanks.

I thought I always knew what love was.

Now I have a better idea what love looks like.
