Herb Sandker hospitalized

Herb SandkerHerb Sandker, husband of Rhonda Vincent and President of Upper Management Inc., was hospitalized briefly this weekend after experiencing chest and arm pains on Friday (8/24). Rhonda left the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival where she was performing Friday, and was able to join him at the hospital on Saturday morning.

Herb is being released today (8/26) after having three stents put in. The doctors do not believe that he had a heart attack, but did find significant blockage in his arteries. We live in an age of marvelous medical procedures.

Upper Management handles booking for Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, Nothin’ Fancy and Williams & Clark Expedition. Promoters will surely understand if their calls are returned a bit late this week.

UPDATE 8/27: Herb has posted his own overview of the weekend’s events on the Rhonda Vincent message board.
