Well known recordist, columnist, and educator Roger Nichols is fighting cancer these days. This guy's work has influenced me since I first discovered many of recordings, through to his columns and other writing which have been great sources entertainment, as well as a wealth of information.
Right now the Nichols' family is asking for help with the insurmountable expenses that have accumulated since mid last year. It's a bit of a sad state of affairs when a successful person such as Roger can be bankrupted just trying to stay alive.
