It's just over 10 yrs since a fan called Buck Dharma's attention to the story of Ricky Browning, a little boy who in Atlanta who was suffering the ravages of an inoperable brain tumor. Ricky had his own inspiring method to fight his illness, he imagined his hero, Godzilla, fighting the tumor. Ricky’s love for Godzilla attracted the attention of Buck, who assembled the Buck Dharma Band, and performed a fund-raising concert for Ricky and his family. The concert was held April 11, 1997 Atlanta, GA.

The concert was professionally videoed, and a large portion of it is included in the video "Miracles DO happen". Chronicling Ricky’s brave fight against cancer, the video features interviews with Ricky and his family and eleven songs from the benefit concert, plus Ricky & Buck’s appearances on local newscasts.

Ricky, Me & Danny Ricky helping me out on drums at the Benefit show Buck performed many BÖC songs, as well as songs from his solo album, "Flat Out" and a few cover versions. Ricky himself helped me out on drums for his favourite song, "Godzilla."
