You rock, girl!

Hey Fastelk, different subject but have you guys ever heard of a guy named Don Glut?

An update on what the Music Division has been up to.

Yesterday we had our Sunday Jam and a good time was had by all. After a guitar circle Jam of about two hours, Reggie Bannister played for us a wonderful set of origanial songs from his last CD. If you weren't there you missed a great show. Reggie was also kind enough to give away an autographed copy of his last CD to anyone that donated to the CCAF. Thank you Reggie, you're the best.

We were able to raise almost a $100 for the CCAF Music Program. Earlier in the week we recieved a $100 donation From Margaret Jones and we were able to buy a used guitar for some deserving student. Thank you Margaret. This guitar was on display at the Jam and we'll keep displaying it untill we give it away to a derserving student. We still need about $200 for lessons and other gear.

If you'd like to donate money or a used instrument contact myself or Gigi Bannister.

Thanks to all for a great time. Good food, great music and wonderful people. Love ya all. See you next Sunday.

Mike

Mike rocks! Please stay tuned for more updates to the website and upcoming announcements on student applications.

Frankin - yes. Don is an old horror film friend of ours. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0323304/) He's also from Texas an his BD is one day after mine. We've been friends a very very long time. Not big movies but he works all the time.

Fastelk, I have something for you.

Fastelk, just had dinner with Don last Wednesday night. I've known him for about 20 years. He's looking for funds for a new movie. He had several titles in his head and the four of us agreed on one. He's a kick. I went to the party screening for "Dinasaur Valley Girls" about ten years ago. He is extremely knowledgable and bright.

This week we will be at Reggie and Gigi Bannister's house in Crestline. We were hoping to be at a public venue this week but couldn't get the araingements made in time. Reggie and Gigi were kind enough to offer their house at the last minute. Email them for directions:
