Comments on: Billy Bragg: “Jail Guitar Doors” http://indiemuse.com/2008/01/14/jail-guitar-doors/ sharing the best up and coming music with you Tue, 02 Dec 2008 00:26:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: Joe Shade http://indiemuse.com/2008/01/14/jail-guitar-doors/#comment-23267 Joe Shade Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:28:37 +0000 http://indiemuse.com/2008/01/14/jail-guitar-doors/#comment-23267 David: Consider yourself now knowledgeable regarding the existence of a program similar to the one Billy's running in the UK! We had our first concert in August '07 and raised enough to donate a couple of guitars to a local prison. You can find info on that here: http://www.myspace.com/jailguitardoorsdc. Since then we received $1000 from Billy when he was in town last October. He had raised the money be selling T-Shirts and some special vinyl records under his alter-ego "Johnny Clash." We wound up donating 7 guitars to prisons all across the country, from Lousiana to Washington, DC. Look for big things this year as we've received requests for guitars from over 70 prisons in he USA! Thanks! Joe David:
