Wes, using mp3 jack as a second (instrument) input sounds like a great idea.  Maybe Ty knows a tech reason it would/wouldn't work. THANKS!!!

Wes, thanks. And thanks for asking.  Original little suitcase amp died. That was a sweet dual-jack input you set up.  Thinking maybe an MAH5 and a Y-cable to run both an axe and a foot-drum suitcase?  Since it likely won't take two input jacks?   (They were advertising a hotter followon product but don't see it on site now.)  Other advice?

Uncle John, Reeds, Steve: ....Guys, THANK YOU!!!

Well, shit.  I am old and I cry easily.   Good make us think and maybe gives us some empathy.   Good on you.   Good on Jim and Megan for their work. 

 

I volunteer for the poor too.   May have to quit or find something different to do.   I end up driving a moving van and lugging donated furniture and often later delivering the same furniture to poorer folks.   Reclining couches are going to be the ruin of my lower back.  

 

Got to say that a lot of the homeless are homeless by choice.  Of course, maybe their other choices suck (to them).
