A fellow fan of Joe's Ron Connatser (y'all know him as Cindyron) has shown me one of the greatest acts of generosity I've ever seen.
Ron is sending me something from the USA, here is the message he sent me.
Hi Stefan
Well I decided I can't leave you hanging for I don't know how long so here is what is going down.
I have been searching for a young individual in their teens that possess the passion and understand what the blues is all about. This person must be humble, focused and always willing to give back. Also this individual is forging ahead and will help Joe and I keep the blues alive. For me to understand the blues one needs to be born with this untanglable something inside to really understand what the blues is all about. This person must have a big heart and willing to put others first and as their career grows to always be humble and look for opportunities to give back. I have been looking for sometime then I ran across you, watched your Youtube video's, your passion in your playing the possibilities you possess and your contributions to the fight against cancer.
So I have been working with Joe and I tried to have it shipped to his hotel in Adeliade before the show for him to give it to you but because of customs we just could not make it happen.
So somehow, worse case Joe will bring it next time he is down under, I will get this to you.
So with all that said:
I am very fortunate to own several of Joe's Gibson custom shop LP and I have been looking for the right young guitarist that possess all the qualities stated above and that is you.
So I have a JB Goldtop sister s/n 164 that's new home will be in Adelade Australia owned by you. When you receive her play her often or she will get lonely. Your parents should be very proud of you.
I wish you the best I will keep you posted.
Well the cat's out of the bag not sure if that makes it easier on you.
Cheers Ron
I am so grateful!! Thank you so much Ron!What a great guy and a beautiful soul!
the pleasure is all mine
Cheers Ron

Re: Great News from Cindyron!
Hi All
Thanks for all the nice comments. This is something I had been wanting to do and I am glade I found the right young guitar slinger. There are many things big and small we all can do to help this form of music we all love to continue. Case in point I was at my local guitar center as a judge for the King of The Blues contest a few years back and there was this young kid maybe 9 years old that was 9th or 10th in line to audition. It was clear that after the first three came on this kid was beyond nervous I looked over from time to time and it looked like he was going to have a nervous breakdown. So during a break I stopped over and chatted with his parents then I spoke to him. After awhile it was clear that this young boy loved to play guitar, he had that passion, it reminded me when I was a kid. So to try to make him relax I told him we are all here to have fun. I told him yes this is a competition but every single guitar player in this room young or old loves to play guitar and we all have each others back and we all support each other. I told him when you look out and see these people remember that. He went on and did a good job and the pay off was when he was done everyone clapped and you could tell from the smile on his face all was good. He later came up to me and said wow that was cool I can't wait till next year. No he did not win but that never entered his mind. The point is sometimes all it takes is a few supportive words to make sure they do not give up.
Now for Stefan as some have said it is up to him to forge forward and to now continue to payback the young behind him as he moves forward in his career.
Cheers Ron

That's true Ron... Once I finish school (just over a weeks time) I'll feel like I have much more time and things will feel more possible!
