Got a Dollar?
Hello D.
Writing to THANK YOU for the beautiful and greatly needed $1,000 gift you donated to the Jazz Foundation on 10/30/18. We are honored to be the recipients of your t-shirt sale during this important occasion - and the monies raised will directly impact the (more than) 1200 musicians and their families who we currently "serve" in the States, including Puerto Rico.
Where would any of us be without music -- and without the extraordinary men and women who have devoted their lives, time and talent to enhancing ours.
Obviously I'm speaking to the choir here and just want to send a "personal" note of great appreciation.
Wishing you all very best - peace and music, always,
bridget

"Very Special Guitar Pics"?
I know guitar pics are collectables for players — I’ve heard. But c'mon people, explain it to a non-player, and to the partner of a non-collecting player. I watched the video of the crowd ooo-ing and aahhh-ing when Jim Kerr said "..and your prize are some guitar pics”. I figured it must have been facetious, right? And the clip of a guy looking into the little crystalline packet of his prize of a few pics and saying 'wow!"…I replayed it a few times to make sure the crystalline contained pics and not blow.
On the very low probability that someone reading this got a guitar pic -- or even just saw one — would you please tell me why in hell it drew apparently nonfacetious oohs and aahs and wows? What do they say: tomorrow’s winning lottery numbers or something?
