The Institute for the Musical Arts is run by June Millington and Ann Hackler
and is dedicated to supporting girls and women in music. (Some of you may
know June's work as the guitarist for Fanny, the first all-women's band signed
to a major label, or for her work in women's music.) They're running an
auction to raise money for a much-needed studio. There are some great items
including a signed guitar from Bonnie Raitt, handwritten lyrics from the Indigo
Girls and a signed jacket from David Bowie. Below is more info. If you have
questions, please ask them directly.

Dear Friends of IMA,
In January workers began building the two control rooms and isolation booths
for the recording studio, the final phase of our half-million dollar barn
conversion project. In order to have the studio done by
the time the girls arrive for summer programs, we have initiated a capital
campaign to raise $150,000. We hope each of you will help us reach this goal
by participating in and letting your friends know about our upcoming eBay
auction which begins March 8th (International Women's Day) and ends on April 14th
(IMA co-founder June Milllington's 60th birthday) .
Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Ferrick, Ani Difranco, Teresa Trull, Erin McKeown and
Dar Williams have all donated signed guitars, David Bowie has donated a
signed leather jacket from The Hunger television series, there will be some
great material from the FANNY archives, the Indigo Girls have contributed
handwritten lyrics, and many other artists have contributed gear, memoribilia, CD's,
photographs, books and artwork. There will be items that will sell for
thousands of dollars and some you might be able to purchase for as little as $10
or $20.
You can find photos and video of the studio in progress as well as a full
listing of auction items and the dates they will go up for bidding on_ the IMA
website_ (http://www.ima.org/) . Starting on March 8th you can go directly
to_ the auction site_
(http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=institute_musical_arts) for bidding and information. We'd appreciate
it greatly if you would pass this e-mail on to your friends. We thank you in
advance for helping out.
Happy bidding!!
Ann
