12/28/2010 – BIG NEWS!!! YVONNE KUPKA RECEIVES LIVER TRANSPLANT

Strokeland is thrilled to announce that Yvonne Kupka received a liver transplant last night and is in recovery in the ICU doing well. Of course, liver transplant operations are serious and complex and she faces a long road to recovery, but Doc is extremely grateful to everyone who has supported his family during this tough time with prayers, kindness, and donations. Financial assistance is needed now more than ever as the costs to the family will be extremely high, and no family should have to be ruined financially by medical expenses. Please continue to pass the word and support the YVONNE KUPKA MEDICAL FUND with your donations and purchases. If you’ve been touched by the gifts that Doc and Yvonne have provided us all over the years, please consider making a donation of any amount or purchasing a supporting item from Strokeland (see below for information). Thank you very much.

A new song from Doc Kupka’s upcoming release “Doc Goes Vegas” has just been added to our rotation.  The song is titled “At End Of The Day” and features the Lon Bronson All-Star Band with Larry Braggs of Tower of Power fame singing lead vocals.  The song is available from Stokeland records as an MP3 download.  All profits from your purchase of this download will be donated to the YVONNE KUPKA MEDICAL FUND.

The following is from Strokeland Records:

Strokeland is pround to present a download of “At The End Of The Day”, a brand new cut from the forthcoming Strokeland release DOC GOES VEGAS. Legendary Tower of Power founding member STEPHEN ‘DOC’ KUPKA has been collaborating with Lon Bronson of the venerable LON BRONSON ALL-STAR BAND on this project for several years in Las Vegas, and this is one of their new originals.

And it gets even better—LARRY BRAGGS, lead singer for Tower of Power, is the lead vocalist on this burnin’ track. Arranged in the finest classic Tower tradition, this is certainly a great sign of more to come from the CD when released next year. Recorded at UNLV studios, this track features the full onslaught of Vegas’ hottest horn section, as well as a screaming Tenor solo by smokin’ Joe Escriba.

In addition, all profits from your purchase of this download will be donated to the YVONNE KUPKA MEDICAL FUND:
