We interrupt this program to ask for your help.
As you may or may not be aware, the cost of this forum has been born by Simon. Not only has he busted his tail to give us a nice friendly home, but put up $500 out of his own pocket. IMO we need to do the right thing and get him paid back.
I have been working with Tom (Elzurdo) to set up a collection site for donations. You can send a check direct to Tom in Texas or you can use his company PayPal account and he will forward the funds direct to Simon. For you non-US folks, PayPal should work great. If you have not used PayPal before, I highly encourage you to do so (very easy and secure). When you send a check or use PayPal, let Tom know that it is for the site donation so he can keep the funds straight. You can get his mailing address and PayPal info at www.lafalseta.com.
The last time I checked, we had 52 members. If we take Simon out, that leaves 51, so if we all kick in $10, we are at our goal. I don’t want to put any pressure on anyone. I know some of you are students and don’t have the dough, so no problem, but I don’t think $25 to $50 will break many of us. Think of it like public TV, if know one steps up to pay, it goes away!
Ok, here’s the deal you can’t turn down.
For every $10 donation, I will personally send you a set of slightly used strings (brand and tension at my discretion). Some of the D strings may be broken, but what the hell, we don’t play that sissy classical stuff. You can get by with five.
For every $25 donation, you will get the latest release of Ron and Slim Whitman’s hit duo CD titled “Okkie from Jerez”
And for every donation of $50 or more, not only will you receive the hit CD from Ron and Slim, but for a limited time only (or until we run out), you will also receive an autographed picture of Merle, his six wives, and all twenty five of the youngans. You heard me right! Don’t pass this offer up!
So what are you waiting for? Operators are standing by. Call now.
Thank you
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
