Hello, fellow Gibsonians.

I’m seeking a favor from my guitar-playing friends. On January 30, Irene Stearns, the last surviving Kalamazoo Gal, turns 100. I’m organizing a virtual celebration. The Kalamazoo mayor has issued a proclamation declaring the day the official Irene Stearns Day (but I can’t share the video of that until next Tuesday when the city will make the proclamation official). 

I’m recruiting musicians to record a simple 15-30 second selfie video wishing Irene a Happy 100th. Something like, “I’m John from Connecticut, USA. Happy 100th, Irene!” Might you be willing to participate? I’ll string together the video clips. Please send your clip to johnthomasguitar -at- gmail -dot-com. Let’s make this a worldwide celebration!

Here's an example of what I'm looking for:

Humbly yours, John.

This is amazing.   I'm guessing there are several of us that have some kind of connection to Kalamazoo !  

Thanks! Videos are coming in from around the globe. Please consider contributing.

Done.

 

In order to avoid going over to the forum's meager messaging storage, it  was added to your "Hi John-  . . ." thread in the forum's Messages box.

Got it! Fantastic.

Thanks!

Details on time and platform for the virtual event soon.

John, this really is outstanding! What a great mayor/commissioner  to show such enthusiasm for this. Thanks for making this all happen!!

Thanks! Yes, The city of Kalamazoo has responded splendidly (and even used the proclamation I wrote for the mayor!).
