Rob. what a mix of emotions you must be feeling. the warmth of the gesture from BP and the forumites and the complete opposite with regards to Tom.
my thoughts and wishes are extended to you and your family. i hope all that can be done for Tom is being done and i wish him a healthy recovery.
BP: again and again you provide a gift out of nowhere. you're generosity is second to none.

I was floored when we were made aware of what BP had planned to do. What an incredible gesture. Rob, our prayers are with you. I hope it brings some small amount comfort as you go through your tying times. Hang tough buddy.

Now that's just tooooo cool...
This type of thing let's me know I made the right decision to make EBMM the only company I will buy guitars, basses, strings, etc. from; hands down...
Wonderful gesture from BP and EBMM.
How I wish I could be involved in signing the AL Rob Special. Too far away from the states..
Rob you hang on. Keep the ALOC spirit going, be positive, look forward. Things only get better. Take time to relax. You need a strong soul to keep things going. My greatest blessing to you.
Just wanna say something here - Me real proud to be an AL owner, and most inportantly, take pride of being a customer of a company that cares. Way to go Musicman.

I really dont know what to type, the whole day today ive been just in a spin. its all a bit much! Incredible stuff really, who could believe it. Just the thought on its own is amazing. So great to know that a lot of fine people have put their little bit into such a special axe, i really cant believe its true to be honest, it sure has brightened my life up considerably, and it such a COOL Albert too!! Black sparkle is ace, and a rosewood board, WOO HOO! Obviously there's a small part of me that knows the guitar only exists because of Tom and his ill health, and naturally i would give all my guitars and everything else i own to make Tom better, but hopefully when he's better in 6 or so months the guitar will take on a new meaning. I'm just rambling, i dont know what i'm thinking right now, this thread is like a dream. My little family loves all you guys! Cant wait to show off the guitar in hospital!

Rob,
Congrats dude. That guitar kicks ass. We're all still thinking about you guys. Keep your heads up.
Poppa, I know you don't want the attention, but you are a class act. And the folks that work for ya kick A$$, too. Best forum on the planet. Best guitar company on the planet. Bar none!!!!!
To all those that signed the guitar....nice job. Wish I could have been there to sign it. My signature is there in spirit.

Very cool. Rob, I'm hoping that someday in the future you will be handing this guitar off to your boy Tom so he can make some music w/ his Dad. Good luck & stay strong.

Rob,
It was an honor to put my name on that guitar. I know you'd give up anything in trade for Tom's health - don't you wish it worked that way?
Don't we all?
So you just have to keep in mind that a lot of people put their best possible wishes for you, Tom, and your entire family into that inanimate hunk of wood, hoping to somehow influence the universe of Tom's behalf.
This forum is, at its best, a community and a family. You and the wee lad are part of it all. We're keeping our fingers crossed for you in Texas.

You guys stay strong Rob...you always gotta lot of love directed at ya from your forum family.
Hey Rob - my wife and I wish you, Tom and your family the best. It was a pleasure signing the guitar, and I'm sure you'll remember how we all support you every time you look at it. I took a pic of the body in the signing process but didn't want to post it until after you knew about the surprise - so I'll post it tonight.
Oh...I'll be watching ebay. I don't expect it to show up there! (<--- notice the smileys...I was kidding)

Rob you mention the reality that without the illness no guitar... Really without your support of this company and its products there would be no guitar.Do you know how many times I have questioned myself that it took my son to get terminally ill before I dedicated myself to helping others? The bottom line is that with every event there are resultant byproducts and you have to savor the good ones and not let the negative cloud the opportunities for happiness.
If I could give my other kidney I would tommorow...If I could make a thousand guitars to save one kid I would..You know in these instances you have a doom amd gloom worst possible voice on one shoulder and on the other shoulder the hope, faith and the were gonna get through this voice......The latter guy is playing the guitar...anything to get you to focus on the the good voice!
I failed to mention that another consideration in posting this is that others that werent able attend the bash to express their good wishes would not get the opportunity if this stayed annonymus
Sorry for the rambling post but it is hard to articulate.

Fantastic!
Rob - As many others have said, I would like to add my signature to that fine guitar in spirit if not in reality.
When it reaches the hospital, let's hope that all these positive vibes pour out of the guitar and into Tom.
I find my own keyboard a little moist at this moment as well...........
