Dotte Watts posted information on her dad Paul Craver and step-mom Gail. Paul is a longtime Beach Music industry veteran DJ and singer. If you're able to help out momentarily please click here.

Dotte's post:
As most of you know, back in August my Daddy went for a regular routine checkup at the VA and they did an X-ray on his chest and found 2 aneurysms in his heart. The next day he went to Duke university in NC and had open heart Surgery as well as a double bypass. He ended up staying in the hospital for almost one month and since then he has been going downhill. One of the bypasses failed. Now he is battling low oxygen and blood pressure as well as fluid continuously building up. My step mom Gail has been by his side 24/7 taking care of him. He has been in and out of hospitals at least 10 times since. This past Saturday night he was rushed to McLeod Hospital in North Myrtle Beach and then Sunday was rushed to MUSC. He is still in ICU at MUSC and Charleston is over two hours away from their hometown of Little River, SC, so I’m trying to raise some money to help my Stepmom with food and lodging expenses as she is having to stay in a hotel close by every night. Even if you can’t help financially, can you please pray for them? The Bible says where two or more are gathered, there I will be! Thank you for all of your prayers. They mean so much through this difficult time and I know that if my Daddy could say thank you he would!!!

Happy New Year to all of our friends! We hate to see 2019 go because it was such an eventful year for us here at Flip Flop Live. We began this journey earlier in the year and the success and support that we've recieved has been much more than ever expected. To put the cherry on top the CBMA members awarded us the 2019 Michael Branch Award. Happy New Year and thank you for everything this past year and we can't wait to see what's in store for Flip Flop Live and Beach Music!

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".
