   Simply beautiful. I love this family sooooo much. Everyone that I tell about this gifting, is simply blown away by it. They all have some sort of "get the fuck outta here" elated disbelief expression. In moments like this, we are God, and God is just a word I use sometimes instead of Love.

   The songs are really nice. I am really knocked out by K's finger picking. The videos are nice, and reinforce what my mentor has been telling me lately... "lighting is important."

   Much love to you Kristin. This is wonder full!

   Wow! The guitar is beautiful!

   Please tell me these songs will be available to download at some point.

   Wait - where can we see the videos? Don't tell me we've been emailed? Mine is broken. :(

   Is there a link for the videos? I donated but I think it might have been too late.

   @Joe: You emails bounced back to me...do you have another address? I just sent you Flickr Mail.

   @Scott: There's no such thing as "too late"...Check your email...for some reason I didn't have you in my list...that worries me.

   @All: If you gave, or even wrote me an email wishing to give, or even if you only wish you could have given - and haven't received an email from me with video info in it - please 1) check your spam folder because lost of messages end up there, the message was sent last night, Pacific time and then 2) write me and let me know if you still have no message from me.

   hello Billy,
   i'm one of those who didn't check emails till Monday morning after the weekend when donations for the guitar were made and the problem was solved. I made my little donation afterwards through The Hat and left a little message for you. I'd love to see the videos if it's possible. The email where i recieve The Letter is harmacykid@hotmail.com, have checked spam folder too but nothing is there.

   thank you so much for all your work!

    I was also one that missed the donation but you kindly sent me the links. Wonderful stuff indeed.

    Get the UK shady circle going soon and fingers crossed.

    See you all in London

    @Silverfrown: All better now, check your email. My sincere apologies for missing you. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings...

    of course it didn't hurt my feelings ;)

    thanks for sending it so fast, i've just watched them. Like someone wrote on Ning,'Palm' is a standout, i think cause in our hearts we feel it's one of the new TM songs... time will tell if we're wrong!

    i have to say, i felt strangely moved, watching Kristin playing the new guitar and thinking of the whole story, and that we helped a little bit. i think we're lucky to be part of things like this.

    Not that K wasn't fab or anything, but the dog on the couch had me giggling through the videos. I really love "Lemon Tree"; it's spooky in a great way.

    @mikel: Yeah, that's Dude (or Remy, depending who you ask), Peter Mansinne's rescue dog. He was pretty comfy there...we wouldn't have dreamed of shifting him.

    The guitar is beautiful! And especially with what it represents...

    The first one, the thank-you speech, made me cry. I really can't put this into words, except to say that I'm blown away. Again.

    i just had a wonderful thought: think how that guitar must feel. of all the people it could have been built for and delivered to...talk about luck...

    Pardon me...I just learned about this new forum. How exciting! I would love to see these new videos of Kristin and her brand new guitar. So could someone tell me where I need to go or Billy if you read this can you send them to me via email. Thanks a lot.

    I wanted to thank you for turning me on to the Vimeo site! I do some video work for my son's football and baseball teams and make highlight clips from my HD video, but was using YouTube to share them and the quality was shite. Now, I can upload them in HD and they look vastly superior!!!

    This was a godsend for more reasons than one!

    Wow what an awesome story about the new guitar! Somehow, I missed it! :(
    Can I see the videos?
    I know its too late to donate, but next time you are in Portland - I'll get Kristin a gift cert to Powell's or something :)

    I also missed out on the GTLB saga - I'm sure I would have found a few dollars to contribute if I'd known. I'd still love to see the videos if that's at all possible...

    @ltkester: Just so you know I emailed you the day you posted this...sorry you didn't get it -- maybe check your spam folder? a lot of email from throwingmusic seems to be identified as spam these days.

    @ltkester I've sent it to you just now, just in case you can't find the one Billy sent. :)

    I've been really shy about asking to see the videos...but I was wondering if it was still possible??

    Thanks, Juki
