Zager Guitars donates 700 instruments to LPS
Seven hundred guitars. Gary Reber, who manages gifts to the Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools, saw the in-kind donation form pop up on his computer screen, saw the number and the donor, and figured somebody was having some fun. He recognized the donor's name -- Dennis Zager -- and knew the song that rocketed him and partner Rick Evans to stardom in 1969 -- âIn the Year 2525.â Itâs not 2525, but the song that made two Nebraska boys famous is about manâs inclination to do himself in, and if there were ever a year that seemed possible . . . . So, yeah. Â Ha, ha.
