Re: Used guitar strings/StringsforaCURE

Happy to report I have strings from John Prine that I will be sending on.  John performed at the Des Moines Civic Center where I work.

Patty, cool about John Prine...a voice from the past, I saw he was on the touring circuit again.  Not everyone realizes John wrote this song Bonnie made famous.

This photo was after the BCC show in San Diego. I didn't think to take the photo during the meet and greet. The ear rings and crosses would have looked out much better with the extra light.

Take care,
Bill

I loved the necklaces and earrings your wife & daughter were wearing, Bill.  I'd like to order some for myself now!

Edited to say:  Wow, these are wildly popular and there are no Joestrings or Olistrings available right now.  I'll have to request a special order!   Happy to know there is so much support for this great cause!

Re: Used guitar strings/StringsforaCURE

StringsforaCURE is getting some nice publicity. This article gives Joe a nice plug for jump starting the foundation by donating his strings.
http://www.lakeerieliving.com/Main/Articles/643.aspx   I am forever grateful to Joe & Jim Moody for being the catalysts!!!  smile

Also, Mutual of Omaha stopped by Elisa's studio to record an "AHA" moment.  They watched Elisa make jewelry from Oli Brown's strings and interview her about the foundation. http://twitpic.com/5mjo0o

Also Angela, Aaron Williams was interviewed and quoted in the article. Aaron is one of those young guys that from the moment you meet him, you immediately know the quality of person he is. Aaron actually donated the strings he used when he and his band opened for Jonny Lang. I think Aaron was planning on saving them, but when I approached him about donating any used strings, he offered those up right away. That, in today's world, is referred to as class much like the class that Joe shows all of us. I consider myself very lucky to know both Joe and Aaron! cool

Re: Used guitar strings/StringsforaCURE

Hope the Marcus Bonfanti - Glastonbury strings arrived ok in USA, I also have some more of Chantel McGregors strings kindly donated to myself for the charity at the recent Cambridge Rock Festival that will be on its way to you as soon as the consent form gets back to me .

Re: Used guitar strings/StringsforaCURE

Can anyone tell me how much % goes to the receiving charity as a donation. Been trying to find out the figures without much luck. I understand the company is setup as a non profit but how much actually goes as benefit to a charity.

Re: Used guitar strings/StringsforaCURE

Hello Martin,

Elisa is meeting with certain board members Thursday. (treasurer and someone about the 501c)  I live about 7 hours from the SFAC base in Erie, Pennsylvania, so I am not an active board member, however I do receive the minutes etc.  I don't know these specific details, but you can contact Elisa directly at elisa@stringsforacure.com.

Thanks for your interest and potential support of SFAC.  smile
