Serving all of SANTA CRUZ COUNTY Santa Cruz PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT GROUP September September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and WORLD RECORD SING OUT FOR PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS When: Sunday, September 14th Local entertainer, Joe Ferrara, will sing and play his guitar continuously from 10 AM to 10 PM on Sunday, September 14th in the Rock Room Lounge at the Shadowbrook Restaurant in Capitola, Ca. The twelve-hour marathon will set a world record for a solo performance by an individual in a club setting without repeating a song or using sheet music or lyric sheets. "It will be me, my guitar and the audience", says Ferrara. September is National Prostate Cancer awareness month. "The average woman has a working knowledge of the facts about breast cancer," says Ferrara, a three-year survivor of prostate cancer. "The average man knows almost nothing about prostate cancer. I hope to change that." The event promises to be a challenge. "I know over 400 songs," says fifty-nine year old Ferrara. "I play folk, standards, soft rock, show tunes and classic rock so material is not the problem. However, I'm only allowed a five-minute break every hour! I plan to save them up and only take four breaks but we'll see if Mother Nature has other plans!" Ferrara hopes folks will take a few minutes out of their day to help him set the record. "Come for five minutes or five hours it doesn't matter. Request a song and even sing a long", he says. "Just come have a good time. I can't set the record without an audience." Information about prostate cancer will be available during the event. Members of the Santa Cruz County Prostate Cancer Support Group will also be in attendance to answer any questions.
