A Christmas Story in Kailua, Oahu 2023
Options
Early this week, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam came into Coconut Grove Music and asked the salesman if there was a guitar teacher who has taught there for many years. So I got a text to come out of my teaching room and say hello! He asked if I could help him choose some electric guitars that would be good for younger players. He then purchased 3 guitars and asked if I had 3 younger students that might need them and to help them be inspired! So I chose the three, called their moms and told them the story. I asked if they could play some of Eddie’s music in their home to secretly prepare them! All the moms were super excited because they are all fans already! When my students came for their next lesson, I surprised them with their guitars. I asked them to write a note back to Eddie. Later in the week, Eddie brought some personal notes for me to give to them! What a beautiful blessing and a wonderful experience to be involved as Santa’s helper!
Eddie Vedder - You Rock with such Aloha spirit! Thank you for an awesome Christmas that we all will never forget!

What an amazing story and lovely thought from Eddie to make a gift like this.
And hope he signed the guitars 🤣0 -
If he signed them, they won't play it! My guess anyway. (He prob wrote them a note)0
