Sorry I haven't posted in so long - but hopefully some of you can share this video throughout social media and generate interest in the Circuits to Cure Cancer Auction.   120+ pedals, 50 builders - a great team for a great cause.

This is my daughter's story (audio:  Mr. Black Eterna pedal)

Dave,

 You've been in my thoughts and prayers as I followed your posts on Facebook.

Take good care, we should get together sometime soon.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I had seen the auction through Reverb e-mails. I will now share the info. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I wasn't aware of this great tragedy.  My thoughts and prayers go out and I'll share this video.

Dave, how devastating for a parent. But your daughter had love around her when it was time to go. And all her life.

Is there a way to contribute to St. Jude's directly? All those pedals get me confused ...

That's devastating. It hits me in the stomach.
I have a son exactly the same age. It's moments like this I realise how blessed we are.
My thoughts are with you.





The date in the video is wrong (it says august 31, 2014)

My sincere sympathy to you and your family at this most terrible of times... I can not think of worse circumstances for a parent than the loss of a child...

My deepest condolences.  I can't think of anything more tragic than losing a child.  One of the families I knew in Illinois lost a 10 year old son to cancer.  It was only 3 weeks from the time it was detected to the time he passed away.   I've invited a number of my musician friends to the Facebook page.

Geez, I knew better, but I clicked on it anyway - I made it through all of maybe twenty seconds before I teared up.

I can't begin to fathom the loss of a child - you have my deepest sympathies.

Dave,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I can't even imagine the pain you and your family are feeling. I will pass the video on to my friends as well.
