A raffle grand prize has been turned into a benefit for Now Hear This clients.
While attending the Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival in Alabama, Now Hear This President Bruce Wawrzyniak bought tickets for and was the eventual winner of an acoustic guitar being raffled off over the course of the event. The real winners, however, are current and future NHT clients.
The NHT president said, “I’d never played guitar, but I will now. Honestly I must say that it seems logical and probably was inevitable.”
Wawrzyniak went on to explain that his intent is to become accomplished enough in playing guitar to be able to provide accompaniment for vocalist clients who perhaps don’t play guitar (or any instrument for that matter). He also noted that his playing might support a client that prefers to have an acoustic guitar as part of their stage show. Furthermore, the NHT president added that this new foray will help him speak clients’ and colleagues’ musical language better, even stating that it can open doors to a different experience in jam sessions and guitar pulls.
Wawrzyniak has immersed himself in lessons from Crystal Blue’s guitar player, Nick Pages.
Shown below, the instrument is a Tanglewood Guitar Company “Nashville III” model. Tanglewood is the number one selling guitar in the UK.
