SuperMoon Limited MS Edition

Eighteen years ago my mother woke up one morning, just as she had every day in her life prior. However, that particular day was different. Half of her body was completely paralyzed. This made her speech difficult, and actually moving nearly impossible.  In the days to follow, she received life changing news and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS); a permanent, degenerative nerve disease.  For more information about MS, please click here. My mother, as well as my best friend’s mother, and countless other mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, grandmothers, grandfathers, teenagers, adults and everywhere in between have given themselves to...

Thank you from Mr. Black and the Pixie Project!

Tremendous news everybody!! All 50 ThunderClaw pedals for the Pixie Project sold by 10:47pm Oct. 30, 2014!! This is wonderful news and on behalf of the Pixie Project, we thank you!  We still have to pull reports and push buttons on calculators to determine the total raised, but I have a feeling it will be felt by all involved (and to be involved) with the Pixie Project.

This is how we all get down

I gotta start this edition of Straight Jive with a thick, veiny THANK YOU to everyone involved in the TCA Eterna Project.  Friends are an amazing byproduct of human existence, and this project would have remained a kind notion if it weren't for the incredible concept of friendship and the subsequent friends that are the result of the concept.  You know who you are.  And now, lots of other people will know who you are also. If you were one of the generous folks to contributed to the project and wound up with a neat little pedal, I wanna give...
