    In Honor of Brian Ball Idea

    Hey Gang,

    I think we have a chance to do something really positive as a group.

    I know a number of us here have made contributions to the CASEY LEE BALL Foundation in the past. With Brian getting married in June, it seems like the perfect time to make a contribution in honor of Brian's wedding.

    Let's send some love the Ball family way and raise a little money for a worthy cause at such a joyous time for this family!

    You should coordinate it just so you can see how much money your idea generated collectively!

    If someone is going to coordinate it I'm willing to donate some money. It is really a good cause.

    Thanks for the link guys. I am more than happy to make a small donation.

    With living in the UK, I am not sure how I would send a chq. If anyone has done this already, please let us know. Or if there is a collection via paypal, that would be great too.

    I like this idea Beth and we could all contribute (few bars) to this song and share it . Internet is a magic thing for that

    I may be short on time before June but if someone send me a bit of music I'll be more than happy to contribute to a few licks or backing vox

    Did Beth really hijack an attempt at honoring Brian with Cash to CLB? Is this a song thread now?

    K that is a very kind gesture and I dont want anyone to feel pressured at all for the CLB.
    Having said that we would welcome any contributions people would feel comfortable making.
    Two requests, please
    Please contact customer service prior to posting instrument issues
    Please don't PM me
    Thanks

    Please dont add me as a friend on facebook....my life is an open book here as it is.
