After going nuts last winter, cooped up in the house watching snow storm

left of my mind. I have no desire to re-enter the rat race, high pressure
corporate world so I have heeded the advice of many and decided to pursue
something I enjoy and don't have to take too seriously. Audio gear, music
and musical instruments have been a life long hobby, so here's the result:

Soon to be added: Some vintage, collectable guitars.

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!

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.

Welcome to the music store world. After all the dinkers leave, you can
take all your guitars and retune the low E back up from D.

Seems like some of the dudes always have to play some LimpBizkit,
Korn, or what ever in "drop-D"
