Bill Hudson and Al Coffey created The Feel Good Tour, and since 2005 they have been collecting instruments to give to children and schools in need. The guys got a huge donation from Hungry for Music in Washington, D.C.

Al Coffey said, "We quickly found a truck that was available, jumped in 10 o clock yesterday morning, and you can see the results, we got about 20 pianos, guitar, and a PA system."

The duo realizes the impact music has, both picking up music at a young age.Bill Hudson said," It gives them confidence, and it spreads to everything they do. "

The gift of giving doesn't stop with Al and Bill, once Rick Rose the manager of Rent-A-Space in Roanoke heard what the guys were doing, he gave them a storage unit for free. Bill Hudson said, "It's the faces on the kids that's the pay off. No matter what language people speak, music is international."

If you know a child in need of musical instruments you can contact Bill and Al through their Facebook page titled The Feel Good Tour or email Bill Hudson at Liberty1Street@gmail.com

And after serving the local community here, Santa's U-hal is going to make it's way to Richwood, West Virginia to donate instruments.
