  1. All children should be afforded the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. I’m thinking about donating a couple of my guitars to local schools. Just haven’t made up my mind. Can’t take them with me when I leave this planet.

  2. I was there and heard the two bands play. Both were fantastic!! Congratulations to both schools!!
