“I’m a musician,” he said, “this is how I make my living.”

Matt and his band mates began immediately posting notices on social media sites offering a reward.  It worked.

A Scottsdale man known only as Jerry ended up buying the mandolin from a man walking through parking lots offering to sell it for $300.00.   He researched and discovered it’s true owner and contacted the band at Fiddler’s Dream in Phoenix where they were performing.

The CBS 5 news story from reporter Adam Longo shows a very happy Matt Thompson.  It’s a hell of a way to get on TV Matt, but we’re excited for you too!
