Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman plays the guitar, signed by approximately 100 East End musicians and music lovers and driven up earlier in the month by Donald Bracken. Ross Lilley delivered the Takamine acoustic guitar to Mr. Bauman while he was recovering from his wounds at Boston Medical Center. “He truly loved the guitar and it made him smile, big time,” Mr. Lilley reported. The gift idea was thought up by musician Bryan Downey and purchased at Crossroads Music in Amagansett. Above, Jeff Bauman plays his new guitar. Courtesy Don Bracken
