They're both great guys, too. The bad news is that Dean has apparently been diagnosed with lymphoma, and you know how it goes for musicians and health care -- it ain't easy. There's a benefit fund established in his name, and if you've enjoyed his music over the years, please consider a donation. The address: Dean Magraw Fund, Cedar Cultural Center, 416 Cedar Ave S., Minneapolis, MN 55454 CAITLIN CARY - Shallow Heart, Shallow Water [WHILE YOU WEREN'T LOOKING/ Yep Roc] Debut solo album from former Whiskeytown member.
