It was a busy month. Glowing comments to make a banjo guy`s head spin, customers` e-feedback on two purchased BRC 5-stringers were “Even more beautiful in person and sounds great!” and “Thanks!!! Lovely instrument and work of art.” Shortly after receipt of these much appreciated and heady remarks, St. Patrick`s Day came around at mid month, and the BRC founders`s band was notified:
“Amigos- Last weekend, our total tip collections for the MU Children`s Hospital surpassed $24K. Gainor & Friends is grateful to the Broadway Brewery for graciously hosting our band and supporting child health care in Missouri. On average, the G&F musicians have donated $1K per year to the Children`s Miracle Network since our beginnings well over two decades ago. You guys are the best.”
These hearty congratulations for this milestone were promptly followed by the first calendar day of Spring which hopefully concludes our remarkably inclement Missouri winter. The lake behind the BRC workshop has thawed, and the shoreline is beginning to slowly green again in the gleam of revived sunshine. The clan of turtles that resides in waters at the foot of our weeping willow tree will soon reemerge from their deep hideaways as temperatures rise. A seasonal question from a grandchild: If April showers bring May flowers, what do Mayflowers bring?
Answer: Pilgrims
