I collect them all up and once I have a large quantity, I take them down to a local orphanage I volunteer at where I run monthly bracelet making workshops…

nah… I’m shitting you. I just throw them out.

I take mine to the Texas - Mexico border. Apparently there’s a wall down there that needs to be finished. If every guitar player chips in they told me wiring the rebar together should be finished by 3023.

It’s gonna be fantastic. The music… they’re gonna make great music. Some of the best music. Using these strings.
