OK, those are great answers.

But how about giving them to me?

OK, OK.

How about giving them to Mudcat to auction for Max? (Mudcat's going to be around forever, right???)

Screw that Save the Music program, where people turn in new stuff they bought and decided was too much trouble to play, or the old dried out thing that was Granny's priceless violin before little grandson Jake stuck it in the hot dry attic under ther sled runner! And I have no idea how the program really works, but do the kids who get the instruments get to keep them or does the school? And do the kids have to sit still for boring, pedantic lessons when they should just get to discover?

Save the Mudcat, more like it! Put them into Catters' hands, where we will do some real good with them!

Or give them to a child whose eyes light up when you let them hold it after your set... give them your old beat-up instrument that would only get you $50 anyhow when you trade up....

Mine? I dunno. I trust Hardi to do whatever would be right.

(The amps-- that's different! I'm taking mine! Heaven is WAY too big for purely acoustic!)
