Muddog's car - a CBG charity drive SUCCESS

A month ago, I put a call out for CBGers to help Jug Fusion's 2-string rhythm ace, Muddog after he lost everything in a massive row home fire. Here's the follow up:

I just got back from the auto aution...You guys helped buy Muddog a 1992 Olds Regency Elite sedan...solid as a tank Runs great! Should last him a couple years and enable him get back on his feet. Wow, what a night!

In addition, three members build custom CBGs for Muddog. He went nuts when he saw them...he was really moved by all this. It only took him a few seconds to start pulling brand new licks from the instruments, too. After he gets settled, I'm going to start work on a Jug Fusion reunion...

Thanks for helping a friend who lost everything in a fire this summer. Cigar box guitarists rule!!!

All is bought, signed, sealed and delivered. My suggestion is to take the inspiration and $... and bless someone else who needs it. Pay it forward in a new direction!

Still on a high from all this. I'm just so blown away by everyone!
