Folks,
We all have a friend and fellow builder that needs help. John Mayes is going through some tough times right now. I know a few folks have started some auctions to help, but I thought of another way to help. Send him some cash. I just sent mine. Use Paypal and send him what you can. If everyone sent ten bucks, that would be a large sum of cash. Ten, twenty, whatever you can spare. I know how much he would appreciate the gesture. Come on, I know most of you can spare ten bucks. Let's all get together and see if we can make a difference. It may be a life changing expierence for him and his family. What a great way to reach out at a special time of the year. Merry Christmas to you all!!!
Mike R
P.S. His Paypal ID is johnm@mayesguitars.com

Done [:Y:], on top of the auction I sent a few bucks as well. As I said in the other thread if someone does not want to use paypal, I can take credit card and send the funds to John's paypal account.

Let's keep this going!!

Shane

Thanks for the gentle nudge. Should'a thought of it myself and acted before now.

You guys are the BEST!!! I think we will all be blessed by helping John and his family. I have already been blessed by his DVD's. I feel like I know him (even though I don't). He seems like a great guy and he has lots of friends. Thanks to you all for helping. I hope John and his family have a great Christmas, and everything works out okay. If I could afford it, I would buy one of his guitars. I have heard wonderful things about Johns skills as a Luthier.
Thanks again to everyone.
Mike R.

Thanks for the nudge. Based on John's expenses, my contribution is small, but I'm sure every one helps.
Merry Christmas.

If you don't want to Paypal directly to John, Shane has offered to take credit card payments, and he will send the money to John. See his blog above.
Thanks to everyone and God Bless,
Mike R.

Done. All it takes is watching 10 minutes of one of his DVD's or reading a few of his past posts to realize what a nice guy John is.
