Rhoads Musonia Kickstarter

[TAB]

Thats all well and fine to fix it up the place, when I was there in 09' it looked pretty run down from the front. Just don't get it. Kelle owns several of the Randy edition Gibson Les Pauls that easily pay for costs to "fix up" the place and has more money than most donating but we will see if he honours his scam.

I noticed Kelle even asked if anyone had a piano they could donate to Musonia and had the cheek to mention top names like Yamaha and Steinway... Is this not his instrument of choice, is this not what he'll be using to teach his students on ?. Shit i think i'll put out a pledge for a blonde with big tits and see if i hit the jackpot :-p

im watching the video and I am thinking this is stuff most all homeowners would do themselves lol. I was expecting to hear they will be residing, new roof or something along those lines. Painting and and moving some things?!

I am really curious now as to how much money they are getting from Randy's name? Jackson guitars, his albums with Ozzy, anything else... how can they not afford 20k by themselves? Musonia had been paid off since probably 1960 lol. Take all that money from current students and put it right back into the house.

Bottom line, I just don't trust the guy. Maybe it's the way he looks that does it. But I have always gotten the feeling that he very jealous of Randy's fame and he never quite made it.

I completely agree with you 100%. I have been told they have more money than they know what to do with by good sources I can't name though.

Me third....I agree 200%

Things definitely seem more than a little fishy with this Kickstarter. I would humbly advise Kelle and Kathy - who both seem like nice folk in their hearts, "Build it and they will come". Continue to offer lessons from top teachers - even bringing in "celebrity" musicians to teach (easy with their connections), invest some money into the building, create a museum sort of experience throughout it with nicely done pictures, stories, memories, and exhibits - and make sure the place has a top notch security system. I bet they could even get some historic preservation grants and other public money set aside for museums to keep costs reasonable.

If this - or something like this was done, not only would the school be a destination for all those wanting to learn - but all of the Randy fans would flock there for the museum experience - a short movie, the pictures, the music, the stories...and a gift shop with business card, pick, string, and other gear replicas. It would also become a destination for any rock and roll fan in the L.A. area who wanted to round out their trip. It sounds a bit whore-ish, but it really would accomplish many of the objectives the family is interested in.

I am heading out to Fullerton, CA, this fall for business and have debated going to Musonia - and even the winery, but being unsure what to expect I don't know. But if something like this did exist it would be top of my list to do during my free time - and I would schedule my day or evening around it. There are so many possibilities that could be done tastefully with the high-mindedness the Rhoads Family has always espoused. At the least, I may visit Randy in San Bernadino again.

Figured Kelle would be banking major coin right now with all the air play of the Troll movies over the last few weeks.

5 months later and no word or any up-dates on how Musonia is shaping up after this money was donated.

So who is getting all the royalties now that miss Rhoads has passed? Ozzys albums are still selling so who is getting all of Randy’s cut?

[GUITARIDOL5682]

Well i was sure $haron O was in charge of the Rhoads estate when it came to dishing out the royalties. So if they did go directly to Dee and she never made any changes leading up to her death. Or if a contract stated any money from royalties owed to her would go to her siblings in the event of her passing. As we all know the O's love to pay up and never keep royalties from the original contributor NOT!!.. so it is a question of who gets Randy's royalties today.. Bob and Lee are alive and they are being robbed blind.

[GUITARIDOL5682]

Has anyone been to Musonia recently ? any updates guys n gals ?

[Shockwave]

wow can't believe this was 2 1/2 years ago ..

Anyway, its likely time for another kickstarter since the paint on the house is is likely getting old now after 2 years, and he needs some help shuffling coffee tables around.

[GUITARIDOL5682]

It's pure theft and wrong what he's done. Hey he's made his bed he'll have to puff up them pillows and lie in it.
