BURNS
U.S.A. GUITARS TO DONATE INSTRUMENTS TO JUANITA CRAFT COMMUNITY CENTER
ON BEHALF OF THE "ART GREENHAW INTERNATIONAL GUITAR NIGHT"
The internationally
known guitar firm, Burns Guitars, has once again announced the
donation of several of their world-renowned instruments to the Juanita
Craft Community Center. The donation was made by the firm on behalf of
the 3rd Annual Art Greenhaw International Guitar Night show to be held
at the Pocket Sandwich Theatre on Friday, July 1.
Burns Guitars began as
a London-based firm, used by such English performers as "The
Shadows," Elton John, and George Harrison. They quickly became
famous for the quality of their instruments, expanding operations and
sales worldwide. Their American firm is Burns U.S.A. Guitars, located
in Connecticut. American artists who became users of their guitars
include Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson and The Light Crust Doughboys.
This is the second time
the firm has donated guitars to this Dallas organization, the first
time being on behalf of the 2nd Annual Guitar Night held during the
summer of 2004. The donations are a particular pleasure to Mr.
Greenhaw, who was a personal friend and community worker with the late
Ms. Craft from 1972 until her death in 1985.
Mr. Greenhaw plans to
visit the Community Center the week prior to the show to make the
presentation of the instruments. The "Guitar Night," hosted
by Mr. Greenhaw and the DFW International Organization, is described
by Greenhaw as being "an eclectic evening of guitar music from
around the world." It will feature music prior to the "rock
era," with emphasis on western swing, finger-style American
country, European gypsy, and the exotic sound of guitars and stringed
instruments of South America, Mexico, and Asia.
The Pocket Sandwich
Theatre is located at 5400 East Mockingbird, Suite 119, Mockingbird
Central Plaza, one block east of Central Expressway. For information,
