In a back room of a small music store in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, owners Steve and Barb Baker send care packages of a different sort to soldiers in Iraq. Operation Happy Note began with one guitar sent as a gift to their son and grew from there, providing musical instruments to over 400 soldiers. They receive 3-5 instrument requests a day and Barb has quit her job to work on the volunteer project full-time. Guitars are popular and novices are provided with lesson plans. They’ve also sent out bagpipes.
