Sayville Firefighter Drumming to Raise Funds

Sayville volunteer Firefighter/EMT Eric Diaz, drummer for Miss Alibi, will be performing, along with his band, at a fundraiser on Saturday, March 19 to help a Lynbrook firefighter who became handicapped in an accident and is in need of a handicapped accessible van.

Miss Alibi’s Bassist Stuart Levine was asked if the band would do a paid performance at a Lynbrook Truck Company fundraiser for Ex-Captain Lenny Llewellyn and he brought the proposal back to the band.  Being a volunteer firefighter, Diaz said that he felt especially close to the cause and asked his bandmates, vocalist Heather Little and guitarist Nero F. Roxxx and bassist Stuart Levine, to consider donating their time and talent to benefit a brother firefighter. Members of Miss Alibi, a top 40/party rock cover band, quickly agreed to forego their fee and perform live music during this event.

Diaz, a drummer for most of his life, has been a volunteer firefighter in the Sayville FD since 2004. According to those who know Diaz, his volunteer spirit often extends beyond his commitment to serve in emergency situations.

The Lynbrook Truck Fundraiser for Ex-Captain Lenny Llewellyn will be held at the Lynbrook Fire Department at 184 Earle Avenue between 4 and 9 p.m. this Saturday. The cost is $40 per person, which includes food, beer, wine, soda, corned beef and cabbage and live music by Miss Alibi.  Tickets are available in advance or at the door.
