My guitar, some of my ethnic instruments, and my sound gear were stolen from my car last week. It was shocking to me to lose the instruments that I have been collecting for many years. My musical instruments are very important to me because I use them in my work to share my musical knowledge and my culture with students of all levels, as well as with the general public. I will use any funds I collect to replace the instruments and gear that were stolen. Any donation will be greatly appreciated.
