COOL music

Music, in and of itself is COOL no matter what style you like to listen to, dance to, or play. It can spark a memory, take you to places you've been or hope to go, relax you, comfort you, or just plain help you to pass the time away. Hames Music of South Carolina has gone one step further to enhance the COOLNESS of music.

Hames Music has proudly created OPERATION: GUITARS FOR GUARDS-They have partnered with the SC National Guard Units to supply them with acoustic instruments as they depart for missions overseas. They express the idea is to take a little bit of home with them as they serve our nation. The acoustic instruments include guitars, mandolins, banjos etc. Hames accepts donated instruments and will repair, restring, set-up, and tune them for the service man or woman who receives it.

Lt. Col. Clarence Bowser of the S.C. Army National Guard expresses that these instruments have been a blessing and really help the service men and women pass the time as they wait for assignments and think of going home.

Music has always been a COOL way to express oneself or to help one escape the normal stresses of daily life. One can only imagine the stress our service men and women face on a daily basis while serving overseas so the generous gift of an acoustic instrument can go a long way. One doesn't have to be able to play it to receive the benefits of it, one can listen as a fellow service member strums away on a recently tuned guitar and find their way back home even if it is only for a few minutes. Those precious few minutes are very important and may just help one get through another day which means another day closer to actually going home.

If you have an old acoustic instrument laying around not being played I encourage you to do a COOL thing and donate it to HAMES MUSIC, you can feel safe that they will make sure that it finds a pair of appreciative hands which will undoubtedly play for very appreciative ears.
