Hey Vic! Why wait? I am not that great of a guitarist but enjoy our Jam sessions greatly! Most sessions have a variety of players on many different skill levels. Our town has a monthly jam session in the town hall. we have between 20 to 25 musicians involved and between 50-75 people listening in. It’s all fun! Jump on in, you’ll do fine! even if you make a mistake, who cares? Smile and keep on playing! Go have fun, my friend!

For the old coach, I want to tell you that I never run out of room for new friends. If you ever get back to North Dakota, you are welcome to visit us. We live in the small town of Hazen off of highway 200. About 15 miles south of lake Sakakawea.
While we are not set up with a spare bedroom, if you have a camper we have room to park it and will even have an electric hookup in the near future. (Our second bedroom is set up for my office/guitar room.)
Next year we are attempting to either purchase a cargo trailer to convert to a camper, or a teardrop trailer so we can travel more. but for now we are homebodies. The only travelling I’d like to plan for is to Tony’s neck of the woods in Bozeman. I would love to go to pick up my forever guitar from Music Villa, a Yamaha FGX5 from them. Some day!
Bless you and your guitar journey may our paths meet one day to encourage one another face to face!

Hi Loraine. I am so glad that what I am doing has inspired you to do likewise. I did want to say that it was never my intention to try to get people to give away guitars. I am not doing anything special, it’s just where my guitar journey is headed.
I can tell that you have a heart for helping others, and I find that inspiring in and of itself. It also gives me an indication of your heart for music. For myself, as much as I enjoy playing the guitar, I enjoy it even more if what I play and sing touches other people.
I feel that you may see it in the same light. It’s a gift, not only for ourselves, but to those around us. I am by no means a great guitar player, or singer for that matter, but I can’t tell you how many people have come up and thanked me for playing, in parks, coffee shops, or even at the music jams we have in our town. This is a gift you have to share as well. Anyone who picks up the guitar and plays for others. It is truly the people’s instrument.
I want to thank you for the encouragement you have given me, and for your heart to reach out to others with your talent and desire to bless them. What a great way to change the lives of those who we can reach, and maybe make their day a little brighter!
Bless you in your guitar journey!
