Chickenfoot and a Helping Hand (or Foot)
Hey Redheads!
What an amazing opening 2 nights to the Foot's Road Test shows in SF and LA! I was so pumped to kick off the Road Test Tour in my home town and the crowd did not disappoint! The energy in the room was overflowing and Joe even blew up his amp! Keep those pictures and videos coming - I love to see how the shows look on your end and all of you guys partying it up! Click here to see the Facebook Gallery for the Road Test 2011.
I wanted to make sure that you have all seen the letters/stories coming in from fellow Foot Soldiers in need over on CHICKENFOOT.US in response to our song "Three And a Half Letters (I Need A Job)". Going into the holiday season I encourage you all to help however you can in your local community. Chickenfoot is partnering with Feeding America (feedingamerica.org) as a great option to help people with the most basic need of having enough food to eat. I'm also leading by example and am donating all of my personal proceeds from the US Chickenfoot Road Test Dates to local chapters. People are doing amazing and inspiring work all across the country and with winter coming up it's a great time to help out.
Don't forget to check us out on Jimmy Kimmell tonight and I'm also dropping into VH1’S “Big Morning Buzz Live’ With Host Carrie Keagan on Monday morning!
Thanks for helping to make me one of the luckiest guys in the world.
Peace!
Sammy

Sammy, thank you and the band for your efforts in helping to feed those in need. I lost my job in March and haven't been able to find another. It's torn my family apart. If it had not been for the kindness of people to provide food there would have been times our family would have gone without food.
Sammy, I have a favor to ask you. My wife and I are great fans, we have seen you several times. The 'chickenfoot' pendant that you are wearing on the book cover, Where can I buy that ? I would like to get it for my wife for Christmas. Please reply to this blog. Thanks.-----Tony Choy, Palmerton, Pa.
First I want to say Thank You so much for all that you do! The world needs more Sammy's ... Period! Also, I am proud to say that I took my Fiance to the Warfield show (it was her first Sammy/CF show ever) and she now understands what it means to be a Redhead! She is now a huge fan! Thank you again for helping the less fortunate. We cant wait to see you guys again!!
What a generous gesture on your part to help others; I'm not surprised though...after reading your book and listening to the lyrics of this song, I think most of us can agree that you have a kind heart. See you in NYC -- I hope I get close enough to make eye contact with you (again) xoxoxo "the girl with the same curly hair as you" :-)
