Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. Throughout the past few weeks, Eastern Kentucky has experienced devastating loss during the floods. Some have lost their personal belongings, including musical instruments. That's where the charity efforts of Wood Songs come into play as they are partnering with Mountain Music Exchange and Coal Run to urge musicians in the East Kentucky area to donate their unused instruments to those who are now without one. Well, it's just getting started, so I just had come in contact with those guys a few days ago and we set up, they've set up a few different drop-off points and we're the one in Pikeville. So far, there's been a lot of buzz, a lot of talk about it, so I think it's going to be amazing. I've had some calls already of people wanting to donate instruments and we're just getting it started. You know, when something like this happens, musicians want to give back and they want to be a part of it, but sometimes it's hard to coordinate a way to give back and Wood Songs made it possible for us to just jump on board and be a part of that. You can just drop them off at the store. Donations can be dropped off here. The Mountain Arts Center also, if you're in Floyd County, is another drop-off point. Mountain Top News also spoke with Folk Singer and Director of the Wood Songs program, Michael Jonathan, to learn more about their plan to give back to the musicians of the mountains. This past spring, Wood Songs collected 1,000 instruments for distribution to the folks that lost theirs in the tornadoes of western Kentucky. There was a big effort, a lot of folks helped out, and then eastern Kentucky got hammered by the floods. I used to live in Knot County for a couple of years and I know the gentle sweetness of those people and how many musicians there are out there. So we thought we'd collect more instruments from around the nation and distribute them for free to the musicians of the mountains that lost theirs in the flood. Well, there's distribution points all over Central and Eastern Kentucky Courier's Music World in Richmond, the Kentucky Theater in Lexington, the Kentucky Traditional School of Music in Moorhead, the Mountain Health Arena in Huntington. Of course, the music store there in Pikeville, of course, great folks, and then the Mac in Prestonsburg. All of these are drop-off points. You can bring your instruments there and we will pick them up and get them serviced and cleaned up and presentation ready. If you lost an instrument in the floods and you need it replaced, go to woodsongs.com slash flood and you just fill out a little form. Tell us what you're looking for. We can keep track. If you have instruments that you can donate, we're talking about playable instruments. If they're sitting in your closet for months or years and you're not using them and you say, hey, I want someone worthy to start playing this guitar, banjo, dulcimer. Even pianos, go to woodsongs.com slash flood and let us know what you have. And we're connecting all the dots. It's very organized, but especially if you lost an instrument, let us know so that we can help you. And it's free. There's no strings. These are free instruments.
