Mark Chesnutt (Lofton Creek Records) has joined with the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis foundation in an awareness campaign and charity effort to remember famed country songwriter and hitmaker Dennis Linde.Linde wrote Chesnutt's chart-topping hits "Bubba Shot the Jukebox" and "It Sure Is Monday" along with other notably recognizable country music tunes such as "Burnin' Love," (Elvis) "Goodbye Earl," (Dixie Chicks) "Callin' Baton Rouge" (Garth Brooks) among others. Linde succumbed to the disease in December 2006.
Mark has donated his personally-owned Takamine guitar along with carry case which is now being auctioned on e-Bay.

The winning bidder will also receive a personal telephone call from Mark with his personal thanks for participating in the auction. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the guitar auction will be donated to the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis foundation a nonprofit organization founded to accelerate research efforts leading to a cure for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), while educating, supporting, and advocating for the community of patients, families, and medical professionals fighting this disease.
