My family and I had the opportunity to visit the John Lennon Educational tour bus and wound up winning an electric guitar, a Gibson Epiphone.

I am the aspie president of an Autism nonprofit whose mission is to help autistic people via music, the arts, and technology. We want to help them with education and their quality of life. We really like what the John Lennon bus is doing. They are also helping education via music. We would love to partner with them for a future event to raise money for our nonprofit to help people with autism.

Here is a video from our visit to the bus–>

Here is more information about the bus and their intent–>

The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus is a non-profit 501(c)(3) state-of-the-art mobile audio and HD video recording and production facility. In its fifteenth year, with the very newest technology and gear, the Bus continues to be dedicated to providing young people with tours of the studios and participation in free songwriting and multimedia production workshops. With the assistance of three on-board engineers, students learn how to write, perform, record, and produce original songs, produce and shoot music videos and documentaries and complete a broadcast quality music video – all in one day!

The Bus is highly adaptable, designed to provide students, their schools and communities with performances, demonstrations, remote recordings, and studio sessions customized for their needs, levels of experience and interest. The Bus travels the country visiting schools, musical and technology conferences and events, and partners with newspapers and other media to host Battles of the Bands with the national winner selected online. With the NewTek TriCaster 850 Extreme and TodoCast-provided satellite system onboard, the Bus is able to produce live multicamera video productions streamed to the web in real-time. All projects created on board are available for viewing on lennonbus.org, YouTube, and Facebook.

We wound up winning a Gibson Epiphone Guitar via a raffle which we all intend to learn to play, and can use it to teach others to play as well once we are funded. We are seeking sponsorships from music and technology related companies.
