Here's some great news for somebody who wants a guitar-upgrade. The people who promote the Annual 12-Hour Jam for Fisher House over near Baltimore are raffling off a Martin D-16 RGT guitar on 22 February, 2014. It's regularly valued at around $1,800.00. Money raised through the 12-hour Marathon Jam and the guitar-raffle goes toward the Fisher House organization. Fisher House has built residential units all around the U.S. so families of wounded troops can be near their loved ones during recuperation. There are two of the Fisher House residential units right here in the D.C. area. Fisher House also offered to pay death benefits to families during the recent government shut-down/financial chaos.
The 12-hour Bluegrass/Jam Marathon has been an Annual Event in Maryland and Virginia and other sites around the U.S. It normally begins at noon and music is played continually for the next 12 hours. The raffle-drawing will take place at 8:00 pm. All bluegrass musicians are welcomed to come in and join up. The format is mainly bluegrass/acoustical music. Anyone who wants to come in and listen is also welcomed. I've attended the past Virginia Marathons and it's always a good time, with good music, and a chance to see old friends. Food and drink is usually available, with everything dependent upon donations. ALL collected funds go toward Fisher House - 100%! The Maryland 12-Hour Marathon will take place:
