Yesterday, the Central Kansas Mental Health Center staff hosted a special breakfast for our Vietnam Veterans. They took the time to connect with the veterans, share valuable information, and hand out heartfelt thank-you notes. We’re incredibly grateful for our community’s continued support and generosity—thank you for always showing up!

We’re so grateful for our amazing community! A huge thank you to The Rotary Club of Salina for their generous grant, which has allowed us to purchase an AED for The Temple. We also received funds for a training unit to help teach our Temple community how to use it. 🙌

A big shoutout to JAB it PC for their professional installation and to our board member Steve Renich for creating a custom, secure mount that preserves our historic marble. We couldn’t have done it without your support! ❤️

Since I first started giving guitar lessons in 2007, I’ve had quite a few exceptional students of all ages. Some that have gone on to pursue careers involving guitar and music and some students that just take pleasure in learning and playing guitar as a relaxing outlet.

Nolan first started taking lessons from me about a year and a half ago and was interested in learning classical/nylon string acoustic guitar. After about 3-4 months of nylon guitar, we started phasing in some steel string acoustic guitar once I learned his interest was more Rock, Alternative Rock, and Metal. As time went by, we decided to try some electric guitar songs as well and we found Nolan’s calling. Since then, Nolan has progressed rapidly to the point where he’s able to play by ear, play guitar solos, and more and more shifting to a self directed learning process.

With the styles of guitar music Nolan is in to, alternate guitar tunings are the norm. He keeps me on my toes with different setups for his floyd rose and strat guitars that need different alternate tunings for new songs he’s learning and I’m always happy to accommodate. Great seeing Nolan and students like him taking off and making playing guitar a reality and not just a dream.

Video in the comments below of Nolan and I in my lesson studio playing a bit of a classic song for you all.✌️
