Steph:  Ya know, it’s really common now for bands to do benefit concerts.

Derek:  Yeah. It’s a good thing to be doing.

Steph:  Yeah. There are so many people in need. I mean, depending on the cause.

Derek:  Yeah. Um, have you heard of any for the tsunami?

Steph:  Yeah. I heard about one, actually, um, with Eric Clapton. It’s gonna be next week. And I’m sure it will be broadcast on all the major TV networks.

Derek:  Of course. And that would be a good money raiser for that.

Steph:  Totally. Yeah. He’s volunteering his time and all the other bands are volunteering their time. And all of the proceeds are going to raise funds for the people in need in South Asia.

Derek:  That’s really great.

Steph:  I know. It’s fabulous. Maybe we should have one.

Derek:  I think we should.

Steph:  You think anyone would donate?
