In a Facebook post today, Billy Darr (bassist) currently performing with Cat5 during Tuff's absence provided a postivie update to the fans and friends. From us here at Flip Flop Live, we're so happy to hear that he's doing better and we can't wait to see him back on stage. We had the pleasure of seeing Billy perform with Cat5 during the ECSC Fall Breeze event and he's doing a great job. In his post he mentioned " He sends his regards and wants everyone to know he will be back with Cat5 Band soon. He also wants to thank everyone for your prayers, text messages, cards and donations to help him and his family during this challenge in his life! God is great and in control".
