This is probably OT but I posted this SRV video because he was the guitarist I aspired to be and since this is a music thread maybe someone might have some ideas.Long story short I have a different wired brain apparently so things that most people do that favor one hand I have tended to divide up between left and right handed. I favor left handed for writing and playing guitar but things like golf, baseball and really fine work I did right handed. Of those and others, guitar playing was the only one that really mattered but carpal tunnel surgery in my late 20's, and then reconstructive surgery on my right elbow as the result of a construction accident left me with nerve damage that didn't allow me to play like I used to. I made an attempt to teach myself to play right handed but a stroke a few years ago put an end to that. So I'm thinking of donating my guitar collection, not huge, only a couple of Fender Strats, a Gibson Les Paul, a couple of amps, a Yamaha dreadnought, a Goya gut string acoustic, and an old Moog synthesizer to a local high school music program. The problems is that so few high schools seem to have music programs any more, really sad, so I'm open to ideas. I could undoubtedly sell every thing and make a tidy sum but I'd like to pass them on to kids that can't afford good instruments. Anyone know of any music programs close to Maine that might need help? I'm retired so I don't have a lot of money to ship things all over the country but I do have a lot of time on my hands so I could drive if it's not too far.
