Very nice. I like the simple web page design.

However, what really caught my eye were the Martin-Logan SL3's. But, I
couldn't find a price anywhere.


I can get them for you wholesale. :)

I love the concept of the store, and a used Music store "Dirt Cheap Music"
is doing great in Atlanta. Whatever you do, you need to get a new web
page designer. It is so 90's. ;)


HEY! *I* am the web page designer (using Sitebuilder) I thought it was
pretty good. But then again, I am so 50's-60's. :-)


I still think this is the best kind of store front.

So i guess it's true - collect enough stuff and you can open a store
front. :)

Good luck.


Is this a museum or a store? If it is a store Richard is going to have
to actually sell his stuff and not use the store as a prop to get people
to talk to him.

I doubt Richard has problems getting people to talk to him. My guess is
that it is a hobby store and if it does a little business, that's good, too.

Now, a Mighty Wurlitzer theater organ...that would be a conversation
starter.

Very cool. If I'm down that way with my kids this summer I'll drop in
if there is a big enough lot to park my truck and trailer in. Unless
you don't want customers that try plugging each guitar into every amp
and touching every instrument in the place with no intention (or the
cash) to buy anything. Do you have a "No Stairway" sign?

Good Luck!

Harry had it right. More of a hobby. Or a fancy yard sale.
But, it keeps me off the streets.
Boat is under agreement again. New oil pans are being installed.
Buyer is from Canada. One of the conditions of sale is full fuel tanks when
he takes ownership.

Still thinking about what's next for a boat. I still have interest, but
things have changed and most of my boating will be by myself. Should
have kept the GB.

The other day a young kid (meaning about 17-18 yo) came in and wanted to
try out the Korg arranger.
I said sure and hooked him up to some studio monitors.

He spent an hour playing background music from video games using all the
"synth" voices.
After a while all I could mentally envision was Super Mario climbing walls
and jumping off cliffs. Started to drive me nuts. The kid could play
well, but an hour's worth of video game music isn't my cup of tea.

So, I finally got up, started shutting off the lights, took the "open" flag
in and told him, "Sorry, gotta close up shop." He left saying he'd be
back again. I left, drove down to a coffee shop, got a coffee to go and
went back to the music shop.
