Wheeler on the mend

Following up on a story from last week, singer Mae Wheeler been released from the hospital following surgery, according to an email from Jay Brandt, proprietor of the club that serves as Wheeler's musical home base. "Mae’s home, feeling well, but I haven’t yet heard what her treatment plan will be," writes Brandt. "She’s adamant that she wants all the dates she currently has booked! I’ve encouraged her to rest, but she’ll hear none of that!"

A benefit concert to help raise money for Wheeler will be held at Brandt's in December; we'll have more details for you when they become available. For now, Brandt says that get-well cards and letters can be sent to Wheeler in care of Brandt's Cafe, 6525 Delmar Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63130, and he'll see that she gets them.
