A VERY ?SPECIAL? PIECE OF GAIL ANN DORSEY MEMORABILIA ON EBAY

Hello Dear Friends & Music Lovers! It?s Gail Ann Dorsey here with a special announcement! Myself, and some of my groovy friends (like DB and Gwen Stefani) have contributed some special signed items up for auction on eBay in the coming days!

The objective is to raise funds for the completion of a professional recording facility at The Institute For Musical Arts in Goshen, Massachusetts. The IMA is a gorgeous, 25-acre, rural site near Northampton dedicated to education, training, hands on experience, and exposure to all things music for aspiring young female artists and seasoned veterans alike.

The IMA is co-founded and run by guitarist June Millington of the fabulous 70?s all-female rock group Fanny. (June?s sister Jean was the bass player and Earl Slick?s first wife!). Fanny were a ground-breaking, all-female tour de force, paving the way for the likes of yours truly, with a level of integrity and musicianship that commands the utmost of respect and acknowledgment.

Being a woman who has reached many plateaus in the music industry that I never imagined I would ever reach, this cause is particularly near to my heart. Therefore, I have donated a very individual item that holds great sentimental value for me and truly represents one of those ?special?, pinnacle moments in my career.

Since my website site is s**t and about to be torn down and completely reconstructed, I thought I needed to let all you Bowie collectors and music fans out there know what I have put up for grabs! My ?special? item goes up on March 14th through the 23rd, and I believe there are already some signed CD?s available for the taking.

So check it out! Bid high! Don?t let the girls down. Don?t let me down! This is a great cause!?And because I am a woman, I can make records at the studio when it?s finished too!

To find out what incredible piece of signed memorabilia could be yours, go here.

Even if you think bidding on the item may be out of your league, you should check out Gail’s eBay page here, if not only to read all the extra information she has supplied, such as this:

?To give you a rundown of the labels and what they mean, Patch 1 ?CLEAN? was the setting that I used for my overall bass sound on a given night, Patch 2 ?FILTHY? was for the funky slap of ?Hearts Filthy Lesson?, Patch 3 ?HEROES? speaks for itself, Patch 4 ?MOTEL? was my fretless simile for ?The Motel?, Patch 5 ?LIL? WONDER? something for the drum ?n bass world of ?Little Wonder?, Patch 6 ?MOONAGE? for the classic ?Moonage Daydream?, Patch 7 what I called ??YOGAZONE?, was for one of my favourite songs to play, ?Seven Years In Tibet?, Patch 8 ?LIL? W. RAVE? a new spin I must have needed for a ?rave? version of ?Little Wonder?, Patch 9 ?S-BOY? was the thunderous fury of ?Hallo Space Boy?, and Patch 0, ?DEATH? David?s dramatic Jacques Brel cover ?My Death?.?
