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!
