Warm and Fuzzy Inside! TB is a GREAT place. :)

Dont be surprised if this grows into something unexpected , the best things usually do ,,, sniff,,, i love you guys,,, group hug,,,, truly awesome. Next year give two away and i want in.

Yes, I would like to do it again and it sounds like there are plenty of other TB members who would like to also. Perhaps someone in TB with good organizational skills can put a drive together so we can help more kids in the future. Who knows, it could be life changing for some kids.
 
Awesome!

Also, for those of you interested in helping underserved communities develop young musicians, you can check out this program in Chicago. I'm not sure whether they need more gear, but they take donations in case this story inspired you.

Again, great work. "Acts of kindness are never forgotten."
Yes! I donated my old Peavey TNT 130 combo, which I hadn't used in a long time (it still works well :)) to this organization last year when I was moving. Very cool folks!
