  4. TylerDurden says who squeezed his cahones??? some crazy charity nut??? "you give me all your money for a $200,000 facility, and I'll scarf the rest for my preperation H addiction" but, praise God for people willing to give above and beyond to keep the teaching of music alive, Jack's $15 an hour for guitar lessons, ask Laura, she's getting pretty good.
