Dave Tipper needs open heart surgery. He is releasing these tracks to help pay for the medical costs that his insurance policy won’t cover. 100% (every penny) of the sales of this release will go to Dave to help fund his surgery and recovery in 2013. Additional donations can be sent via paypal to openheartdave@gmail.com – Please contribute and share this information with anyone who has enjoyed Dave’s contributions to our collective experience!

Brought this track instead of downloaded it for free.
His surgery by all reports has been a success but his music is awesome and I want him to have the money.

From Dave Tipper’s FB page:

‘m sure nobody wants a long cheesy speech, so i’ll keep it short.
Firstly, i’m out of the hospital after the most brutal week of my life and incredibly grateful to be alive and on the (pretty damn painful) road to recovery.
It is of course still early days, but the surgeon has given me the thumbs up and seems happy with how the surgery went. I have read over this page and all of the comments on it and am absolutely blown away by how much love, encouragement and good intentions there are from all of you lovely people. It is for me personally, one of the most moving and humbling things i’ve witnessed from you guys in all the 22 years of my music making. I cannot thank you enough for your love and support.
In addition to thanking you all, i’d also like to publicly thank the surgeon (Dr. Douglas Murphy) and all at the St. Joseph’s Hospital in Atlanta, GA.
Also to my friends, family and my manager for sticking close to me through all of this.
Much love and respect,
Dave
