Creedence to play benefit concert

San Francisco Examiner - June 16, 2005

Though they're 20 years past their Creedence Clearwater Revival heyday, drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford and bassist Stu Cook are still rocking.

The pair's latest group, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, appears June 26 at Camp Arroyo Meadow in Livermore as a benefit for the Taylor Family Foundation.

The foundation sends critically ill children suffering from skin and heart diseases, Crohn's disease, colitis, diabetes, HIV and AIDS, autism and life-threatening disabilities to summer camp at Camp Arroyo.

"Since 2001, we've had four summers," explains June Johnstone, spokeswoman for the foundation. "We've had 6,400 campers go through."

Johnstone says the foundation's memebers are thrilled that Clifford and Cook were kind enough to donate their time and talent for such a worthy cause.

"The band has donated the benefit concert to us as a way for us to make money to send more campers to camp this summer," she said.

Sunday's event, which includes a gourmet luncheon and a dance party, will feature libations from Samuel Adams and seven wineries and food from 10 Bay Area restaurants.
