Just to clarify, when some folks speak of tax write-offs they believe it is a "one for one" where if the guitars cost $10,000 he can reduce his tax payable by $10,000. Not true.
If he pays an effective tax rate of 10% he only saved $1,000 in tax but still spent $9,000 on those kids out of his pocket. Joy is in fact a big deal!!!
I am so excited to spend the next 2 nites at the Fillmore Billy shows in Philly, many friends are going I haven't seen in a while !! Was at a local bonfire and music circle tonight of amazing musicians...everyone is buzzing on Billy Strings and the upcoming shows.
I gave him and the band a big bag of jam and goodies the first time I saw him @ Stone Pony a few years back ( pre covid), after the show...
Andy came over and handed me the setlist ...and it was signed by band <3

Such a great gift to those kids. Music, like other art, saves lives.
And thanks to whoever didn't come along to point out that this could be a tax write-off for him.
Joy is a big deal.
