Former (?) VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony's website has issued the following update:
"Last Friday night (February 23rd), Michael was on hand at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles where he jammed a set of down home blues standards with fellow hot rod enthusiasts JEFF BECK, Billy Gibbons (ZZ TOP) and Jimmy Vaughn as part of "Deuce Week" - a six-day celebration of the 75th anniversary of the 1932 Ford Deuce and the biggest party ever thrown in honor of the Deuce, the "Deuce Week" Gala. Tearing it up to a standing room only crowd of 1,200 gear-heads and rockers, the jam concluded a fundraising event and auction for the museum and it's 32 Days of '32 Fords exhibit, raising more than $60,000. Michael signed and donated the Yamaha flamed bass he played on the 2004 Van Halen tour which fetched $16,000 and Beck, Gibbons and Vaughn all donated signed Fender guitars as well."For additional information about the museum, visit www.petersen.org.
