Hi guys,

As you know there are many things going on in the Becker Camp, which is a great thing. We all look forward to the new CD, the ProTone Pedal and the custom guitar………so there are exciting months ahead of us. On top of all that good news I am glad to be able to add some extra. Read all about it in this newsletter !

JASON BECKER INTERVIEW !

I have been extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to interview Jason over the last couple of weeks; partly in person and partly by e-mail. It really has become an amazing interview, of which I am very proud ! I will publish it in 3 parts on this blog, and expect to publish Part 1 somewhere next week or the week after. I am sure you will LOVE this interview !!

INTERVIEW JASON BECKER CHARITY ON ROCKZONE !

Another interview. This time I was interviewed myself by Jason Houston of RockZone productions: http://www.myspace.com/rockzoneone who was interested to find out all the things about the Charity I set up for Jason Becker.

MEMORABILIA AUCTION ON EBAY STARTED !

As you may know many rock stars have donated some of their memorabilia to our Charity so we can auction them on eBay. The money of all winning bids will be donated to Jason. I already received some great stuff from many rockers, and there's some great stuff on it's way. The first items are now in the eBAY shop:
- A guitar pick from Gus G. of Firewind
- A guitar pick of Steve Vai
- A signed CD 'State of mind' by Lalle Larson
It's great stuff, many thanks to the artists for donating it ! Check them out at: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/coolenron , I will be adding much more over the next weeks so stay tuned !

NEW FRIENDS

As you see I have been extremely busy over the last weeks and as a result I have not been able to thank all the new friends of the Jason Becker Charity for their add's and req's. I apologize for that guys, but please know that I am very grateful for all of your support ! Many thanks and please help spreading the word about the Charity among your friends !

DONATIONS

Many thanks to the people that have donated to Jason, it is very well received and Jason is very grateful for your help. For those who have not donated yet and consider making one: you are just 2-clicks away from donating. On the right side of the MySpace page www.myspace.com/roncoolen there is a yellow 'PayPal' button. This is for people who want to donate either by PayPal OR by CreditCard. Alternative payment options are described underneath the button. Donations are still necessary for Jason to make sure gets the appropriate care as well as continue all his projects for a long time !

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !

Ron
