Thank you everyone for their generosity! There was $200 donated this morning on the bass side. I believe this means there is less than $100 to meet the goal. I am sure someone would like to be the one to push this over the top. Then we can work on world hunger ;-). Merry Christmas everyone!

p.s. I have found it real interesting to see how many donations have come from outside the US.

Hey guys, I didn't come over to the skinny string side very much but I wanted to take this time and thank you all for what you did. My wife and I were very touched and will forever be in debt and thankful to you all. She has a consultation with her surgeon in April and the first of four surgeries will probably be sometime in July. Again, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you all very much!

OK here is my deal.....

Every bass player that gives $100. gets three sets of Slinky Bass strings...(four string sets)
Every guitarist gets a dozen sets of 6 string Slinkys and an Music Man Hat...

Lets see how we do here....Lets see how much we can raise....If we exceed the $5,000.00 we will donate the excess to the relay for life in JDawgs area.....

Sound good?

We get sidetracked in life and on this forum by some clueless people....acts such as this show that there is a heart beating and sincere desire to help......

Now I have to twist the export distributors to participate!

I am very proud to be involved with all of you.

First off I would like to say that it has been so touching to see the amount of support this forum has banded together to give.

So now I will need some info from you guys to get some strings! I've gone through the thread, but I don't know if everyone that donated posted. I think the easiest way to do this is to have everyone that was able to donate $100, email me your info. I will need to know:

Forum Handle
Real Name and Address
If you are outside of the USA please make sure to let me know. (We are going to try and get the distributors involved in this to help out)
String choice/hat choice and size (see Sterling's quote)
You can find the hats here:Ernie Ball Inc. - Clothes, Hats

If you are emailing from a different address than the PayPal donation was sent, please let me know what address the donation was sent under.

Thank you all!

Please fill out this form to send over your info:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHl4cW1nSnFqNGxySlpiQ2FlOW83NHc6MA

I posted this on the bass side....this is for you guys too!

let me just touch on what has been said and maybe give a little holiday message....

The ability to help others happens every day....maybe not enough but it happens . We live in a world where the worst is featured on all media and sort of gets tatooed in our minds. The positive sells less beer and toilet paper. It takes acts of kindness like this to jar our subconscious and realize that we all have the ability to make someones life better or worse...it's our choice. Same with the input we decide to surround ourselves with....Maybe that this hit at the holidays is karma or meant to be. For the new year lets all consider the possibility of understanding the world but focusing on good, great and kind things. It just seems like a better way to live.

Thanks for allowing me to state the obvious.

Sterling you sir are a good person, I am proud to be part of this and this forum. I was telling coworkers today about this and they just did not believe me or get it.

All knuckleheads thank you for making this happen!!!!
