Post Tap Nation - rally for Michael Johnstone
All,

I rarely use this forum to solicit money, but am doing so now as I need your help. To be clear - I AM ASKING FOR MONEY FOR ONE OF OUR OWN.

Recently, I was made aware of the situation of Michael Johnstone, someone near and dear to every sitting Stickist as he is the inventor of the LapDawg.

https://stick-enterprises-store.myshopi ... le-lap-bar

The details are such that Michael and his family may lose their home unless he is able to stabilize his immediate debts. This week, I am offering $200 to start the effort to ensure that we can do our part to keep him going one more month, one more week - anything is better than nothing.

So - if you have a LapDawg, and you have enjoyed it or it has saved you time or offered you some level of comfort, please consider a $100 donation.

If you have been a guest or participant at a Free Hands Academy event , please consider a $50 donation.

If you have watched any of my song of the week offerings, OR I have offered free advice on buying / selling or learning more about the Chapman Stick, please consider a $25 donation.

I have reached out to other players in our community to get the message out. Please watch for this in my social media feeds.

Thank you in advance for your consideration,
Gene

Thank you for letting us know Gene. Michael is a wonderful member of this community and i truly feel sorry he has to go thru all of this. Thank you all who may contribute: it’s never about how much, it’s always about how many of us. Much love to you all and thank you for helping out!
