Yeah I heard about the Jorn Dio tribute - does anyone know if profits for that will be going to the 'stand up and shout fund'?
Judging from this it statement it seems the Magic Circle tribute seems legit:
Padavona writes, "Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Dan Padavona. I am Ronnie James Dio's son.
"Joey DeMaio [MANOWAR bassist] contacted me a few weeks ago to discuss his tribute CD to my father. Joey sought my advice for where I felt the proceeds from his project should be sent. My first two choices were M.D. Anderson, which nearly saved my father against all odds, and Dana Farber's The Jimmy Fund, to which I am a long-term donor. Today [Monday, June 21] I received CC'd copies of email correspondences between these two charities, and Joey's company [Magic Circle Music]. He has obtained the paperwork for donating to both causes as I requested, and I have no doubt that he will follow through with his promise.
"I will leave it to Joey to release any specific information he feels comfortable in releasing.
This you tube video looks pretty legit too:
