As always, it was an honor to partner with Blues Society of The Ozarks to raffle off this beautiful guitar to benefit the Blues in the Schools Program.
Much gratitude to Ernie Williamson Music and Fender Guitars for donating the beautiful Telecaster for the Blues in the Schools fundraiser this year! All the proceeds go to the successful on-going BITS program that George Hunt and Bob Bledsoe conduct in Public Schools, but also at the Division of Youth Services and other youth facilities. Its amazing to think that over 600 kids have received a harmonica within the last year have learned how to play it, learned 12 bar blues, history of blues music and written songs. Thanks to all who bought tickets this year!
