NEW YORK—(U.S. Asian Wire)—Friends of Funk Filharmonik, New York’s tightest funk band, deserve a vacation. Dawn and Bill Heller are candidates in the “Do You Deserve a Vacation Contest” being held by Matt Lauer and the Today Show on NBC-TV.
Bill has played keyboards with the 12-piece band many times. His wife Dawn is an ovarian cancer survivor and recently had a recurrence, requiring ongoing treatment. The couple was lucky enough to become participants in the contest.
Please take a moment to visit http://www.followmatt.com, click on the camera, and then type in "CANCER SURVIVOR" in the SEARCH TITLE box at the bottom right. View their video and vote.
Needless to say they could use a little R & R and it would be great to send out future Funk Filharmonik news announcing them as winners.Thank you for your time and your vote.

About Funk Filharmonik
The 12-piece Funk Filharmonik, comprised of some of New York’s busiest and well-known musicians, was formed in 1985. Funk Filharmonik’s big, fat, fiery horn sound and chunky rhythmic vibe has become a magnet for musicians and music lovers of all stripes, from jazz hipsters to rockin’ bikers, from students to teachers, youngsters to oldsters, fans of jazz, funk, soul, R & B, listeners, dancers … and basically anyone who is in need of a “soul vaccination.” The Funk band has influenced many other local bands. Their performances have become a local hang for so many players. One never knows who is in the audience and might come up to sit in with the band, particularly when they gig in Manhattan.
