Press release:
Hello Friends and Fans of TMF!
Come "Slay the Dragon"!
Tawn Mastrey Foundation HCV Warriors, family and fans are planning a very special 'intimate' concert event in St. Paul, Minnesota at the Station 4 club, Saturday, 4/4/09, from 2 to 2. We will be celebrating the life of Tawn Mastrey, who lived to the fullest and Rocked the hardest!!! We Want YOU! Veteran Rock Radio Disc Jockey, (KNAC, Sirius, etc), Tawn Mastrey, passed away from HCV last year tragically and unnecessarily. Tawn contracted the Hepatitis C virus when she was a child and didn't know she had it until she was diagnosed 30 years too late.
As Tawn's last dying wish,... she asked, "please ask my friends to stop the spread of HCV. They will help". Tawn's friends and I have since formed a non-profit Foundation in her name to spread awareness and education about the disease and to prevent the spread. This celebration of 'life' is to be done in the style that Tawn herself enjoyed. You all know what that means. . . . .."Rock Hard Live Long!" We are inviting Tawn's musician friends to come and JOIN us on this special day...and to share your talents to help celebrate the life Tawn lived, while helping others. This Event will also launch a series of events leading up to 'Major' TMF/HCV Events. TMF is about promoting the awareness and education of HCV through music, art, entertainment and media, Internationally.
With you all joining us for this intimate event, YOU are helping. Please contact me, Tawn's sister Cara, if you are interested in joining us to perform and to celebrate life and good health!
mastrey - 5/2/2009 10:03:21 PM Hepatitis C virus (HCV), is a blood transferable disease. I wish this upon no one as it can devastate entire families. "Rock HARD, Live LONG"! Get tested for HCV to prevent spreading to others and to get treated early. Peace, Love, Cara
mastreycara - 3/10/2009 4:00:04 PM Thank you so much everyone for the wonderful stories about my sister. I knew she was amazing, as a sister, and you all feel the same way about her as I do. That's love. Hope ALL Tawn's friends and fans can join us on this special day..Many more major events being planned. Tawn was loved and adored. She loved all of you so very much.
phrydom - 3/6/2009 6:02:15 AM Who was using the RR's white Marshall cab and the Carvin Head in Tawn's pic? That white cab probably--in fact would of--had the original speakers RR's used, as a result that cab would go for a fortune today.
TheBlackBishop - 3/5/2009 5:02:31 PM Amen to that Bro! and yes RIP Tawny but The Memory Remains.
kordrah - 3/4/2009 6:32:34 PM u guys r killin me! regular radio sux the hi hard 1 but its not gettin any better with xm or sirius! their so called metal and hardrock and "heavy"rock channels are doing the same damn thing by playing the same old tired shit over and over. KNAC is about the best thing going these days! GOD REST THE LEATHER NUN.
Blob_ber - 3/4/2009 10:19:35 AM Yes, radio does suck. Here in south Florida it's a total fucking wasteland. Here in the Keys we gotta listen to fucking the same 10 classic rock tunes over and over and over...I'm gonna kill next time Skynyrd or the Eagles comes on.
guamrockbar - 3/4/2009 9:56:41 AM The 7th day was the shit - it was a KLOS staple - back KLOS was "95 1/2" as opposed to the decimal stuff. Yes - 94.7 The Mighty met was the shit as well. RIP - radio these days sucks ass - GRB.//
Blob_ber - 3/4/2009 8:30:15 AM See...this Guam fellar has a sense of humor...unlike that evil skullhomo dick. Guammy...dude, I cried the day KMET went silent...only to be replaced by the fucking WAVE shit. I used to get stoned and listen to The 7th Day, Sunday nights on KLOS (I think it was KLOS...I was high)...entire albums. Those were the days. I did listen to KROQ a lot. I was on drugs.
guamrockbar - 3/4/2009 8:05:54 AM Wow - That's harsh shit - man, LOL. But I respect your enthusiasm and loyalties. Unfortunately - given the state of local radio stations these days - there are none out there I would defend with KLOS as the only possible exception.
Blob_ber - 3/4/2009 6:04:33 AM Guamhomo...dude, go into the Guam jungle and catch a fucking feral hog, then buttslam it. KROQ dominated all over KNAC, KMET, and KLOS...that was a s fact. Sad but true. You had to be one of those pencil-necked Sammy hagar Weekend losers driving around in a crappy Camaro?
maxlongtoe - 3/4/2009 12:18:09 AM always had the stickers on my rides during the 80's and into the 90's. I still miss those days and the red onion nights, the Marquee, and especially Tawn.
guamrockbar - 3/3/2009 8:58:11 PM Funny thing about KNAC - even only a few blocks away from the station - can't get reception - weak signal. And we were in the Long Beach Sports Arena parking lot for pre-concert drink-ops! Good days indeed. GRB
cabaddboy - 3/3/2009 7:01:37 PM I used to work in Long Beach .Everyday I would pass Ocean and Pine and see the KNAC 95.5 sign out in front of the building..I remember listening to the station every single day .There will never be a DJ like the leather nun.. RIP Tawn we all loved you and will be missed..
Sandalchair - 3/3/2009 4:44:49 PM Our generation is highly overlooked in terms of radio airplay.
Metal is so huge but the metal radio format isnt. I dont get it.
guamrockbar - 3/3/2009 10:38:11 AM After hometown gig - need to get something going here in Long Beach/Los Angeles areas. Maybe?
