Our eldest son's bass was stolen last December.
Insurance covered 1/2 of what the estimated value of the bass was. Ozzie Backus V, who completed 4 years at the New England Conservatory of Music in Classical Bass Performance, is in quite a quandary with out an instrument to play and pay the rent. A decent replacement bass has been located in Connecticut. We are at this point 5000. dollars short. (Yes I know that is a huge amount of money).
Big Oz (OP's Dad) is a victim of the current recession and is unemployed since November 08. Most of you know my situation w/ MS. So cash is not readily accessible.
So with that in mind......... "FUN & FUNKY Earring's"
For the last couple of years I have been making earrings to supplement my Art business.
My goal here is to sell 200 pairs of earrings. at 20.00 (plus 2.00 shipping and handling) a pair that will bring in a bunch toward this bass.
If you would like to make a donation and get a pair of earrings Contact me at:
retta@sunflower.com or:

All proceeds go toward covering the cost of replacing Ozzies, (O.P.'s), stolen Bass.
(As these earrings are handmade hammered sterling plated silver w/ stirling ear wires, there is some variation from design to design. If you see a pair here that you like. Let me know which pair in Picture A, B or C, row and # from L-R, and I will do my best to get a comparable pair to you.)
