Anyone who's ever seen these guys knows that they're straight-up good, hard-working, joy-making musicians. Their music has made me and my kids happy for years, and it makes me feel sick that some stupid bastard ripped them off.

Just thought I'd spread the word on the off chance that someone would come across these instruments.

Thanks!

Dani

What a great band. I've seen them dozens of times. Here's an example of why we love them so much.

Morgan is going to love those songs! Thanks, Wesley.

I hope they catch them AND get their instruments back.

I believe they found Keith and Ezra's van in Houston, but I don't know if they've recovered the MANY instruments and other touring equipment. These guys are hardworking and wonderful touring musicians and do not deserve this. More info on Ezra C Idlet's Facebook page, including photos of some of the stolen instruments, including a fretless electric built by my son in law. Thanks for keeping your eyes peeled, BlueJay

Refresh. Please folks, take a look at the photos of these unique instruments, using the link Dani so thoughtfully provided. A lot of these are one-of-a-kind and would stick out like a sore thumb in pawn shops, even music stores. Please, please keep your eyes peeled. Thanks, Dani for starting this thread. BlueJay
