Mandolin Fund

Recently a friend let me borrow his mandolin and I've been playing it a lot. I took a couple lessons from a friend and am really getting into playing some bluegrass and traditional songs. (I can play "cripple creek" like nobody's business)

Problem is I don't have one of my own so it's hard to keep up with practicing.

It was my hope that this year, anyone who was thinking of buying me a gift or sending me a card for my 30th birthday, July 7th, would instead donate to my mandolin fund so I can buy myself a mandolin to practice and play with.

I think that sentimentally it would put a lot of meaning into my purchase, knowing that it was a gift from my friends and family, and that it will mark my 30th birthday milestone.

So please consider donating $5 instead of sending a birthday card, or more if you are able. It would mean so much to me.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it!

Love,
Lucas
