I'll be in Louisville Friday morning presenting a new guitar to the top three participants in the guitar club I sponsor.

Believe it or not, this will be one of the most satisfying things I'll get to do this year. Seeing disadvantaged kids begin to "get it" and warm up to the attention they deserve and the possibilities they have is satisfying beyond belief.

20 kids a year are able to explore the world of music and, by association, get some exposure to art, film making and other creative areas.

That makes me feel GOOD!

Good on ya Russ - a worthy endeavor for sure! :-)

Congratulations Russ.

Fantastic Russ ... you are changing live music in the future !!!
And hopefully those you influence will carry on your work.

I recently bought the Snarky Puppy DVD because I love to see younger musicians making their mark.

Thanks for posting this link Nigel.

That is the first I've seen of this bunch.

That performance is absolutely awesome and a treat.

They sure are Bill. The DVD is fantastic. You can find a lot of their tracks on YouTube. It is so good to hear up and coming musicians like this.
