I don’t blame you, really. I wouldn’t want to wear the same dirty left sock every softball game I played or have to carry around a pocket Buddha just to rub its belly every time I felt I needed a little extra good fortune either. It’s OK, don’t panic. You can get your luck elsewhere.
Karma.
That Ed guy from television knows something.
Karma.
Need some good karma?
Give your kid that instrument he or she has been wanting for years.
Wednesday, Aug. 9, during www.myspace.com/randyoxford">Randy Oxford's Blues Theater Jam at Jazzbones, the Weekly Volcano and Jazzbones will give a free acoustic guitar, trombone and violin to a child.
Does your child want one of those instruments listed?
Call Tommy Carson at the Weekly Volcano World Headquarters.  His number is (253) 584-1212.  If the instrument is still available, Carson will instruct you to arrive at Jazzbones just before 8 p.m. tomorrow and enjoy free dinner and drinks on Jazzbones. 
Then kiss Jazzbones owner Jason.  I have.
Your child will not only cherish the new instrument but enjoy Oxford's blues jam as many children jump up on stage and perform with the award-winning trombonist.
Best part of the night?  Besides the kiss, your child will received free music lessons and mentoring.
Karma.
Wednesday, Aug. 9, 8 p.m., all ages until 11 p.m., Jazzbones, 2803 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, (253) 396-9169. â€" Suzy Stump
