DENNIS ERECTUS BENEFIT CD

Jim Sheehan, Dana Jang and other friends of Dennis Erectus are working to put together a CD of classic airchecks featuring Dennis, who is still recuperating from a stroke he suffered back in 2006. The proceeds from the sale of the CD will go toward paying off Dennis' mounting medical costs. If you have recordings that you can provide, please contact Jim Sheehan via email.
