As many of you know I am in desperate need of a new flute-
My flute that I have right now is 25 years old , has serious metal fatigue and isn't worth repairing anymore- It hurts my hands to play and at times I am struggling to get a good sound out of it. My flute techs are amazing and have done all they can- I fondly refer to it as my " Frankenflute" but it's time for it it to go to it's final gig in the sky-

I really need a good professional flute and they are very expensive. Being as my "day gig" is as a musician, I have been SLOWLY sacking away whatever extra money I have , but it will take me a long time to reach my monetary goal, and I need an instrument to work. I have been trying to figure out how I am going to make this happen for a while. I am dependent on my fans ( and beer sales ---)

My musician friend Geoffrey Ricketts ( please check him out!!!!) came up with a great idea! He suggested that I ask each of my FB friends and fans to donate $5.00 each that I could raise enough cash to get a very good used instrument.

I would greatly appreciate anything you can donate towards a flute. We've added a link to paypal on my website for donations.... www.anniebenjamin.com- All donations will go directly to the flute fund. P

thanks a million for everything! Y'all are the best
I look forward to YEARS of great flute music in the years to come!
Annie
