Alex and Mike Stanton were given an old guitar one day and thought
there might be thousands of guitars collecting dust in people's attics.
And there might be thousands of kids in the Boston area dreaming of
playing guitar but can't afford one. They fixed up the guitar, found a
kid who really wanted to play, but couldn't afford to buy a decent one,
and gave it to him - for free. No Strings Attached was born.
