The idea of donating individual pieces of equipment may be a good one. Only Dave knows. Whe he was here, I gave him, partly as a joke, a Morrell lap steel that I bought but never used. He tells me the kids are using and enjoying it. Maby he can post a list of incidentals...mikes, cables, music stands, mike stands, etc. needed to round things out.

Personally, your early response is a BIG thing to me...reaffirmation that there are caring people out there who will step up and help. It means so much to me that people I feel a kindship with are ready to support what I believe to be a wonderful joint project. It brings a whole new meaning to the concept of sharing the gift of music.

Dave will be posting details and progress as we define how things will work next week.

It's a really GOOD thing we're doing.

I'd like to get things started by making the first firm commitment. A month or so ago, I asked Dave if there was anything his school needed. He told me that they needed some Roland drum components and a controller keyboard...cost: $400.00 (man, that dude knows how to shop!). I was glad to send the $400.00 to the school (plus, that FINE lap steel-ha!).
I'd like to commit another $100.00 to the effort. That will buy 25% of the desk needed, some cables, wind screens, etc.

I'll wait for more direction from Dave next week, and when I get it, as they say..."the check is in the mail"!

Man, this feels GOOD!

I'd like to send a check to Dave. Pay Pal keeps wanting my Check Account # and I won't buy a candy bar on internet through my Bank Account. I enjoy walking into the bank and seeing the people that use my Bank Account Number. Ha! Ha!
I'll gladly send a check.
When is the Address etc. going to be posted.

We all have our charities, but Im sorry mine is The Burn Unit Foundation just seems so much more important to me as a burn victim myself as a child...just take a visit to your local burn unit & you'll see what I mean....there is nothing worse then being burned.

Good luck in your efforts to help the kids.

Thanks, Donny.
When you look around, the need is great in a lot of areas.

There is a burn unit at the children's rehab hospital I support. I'm also committed to a group thast lobbies for Nursing Home Reform and other non-profits.

This is a "one-shot" effort to support a group of kids and one of our own.

Best wishes.


Russ
