That's a funny list of music venues and professional grade musical
instrument shops.

You're what, about 40 miles from Boston? How often do you drive into
Boston to see live, top-drawer professional musical performances? Once
every two years?

When I lived in Albany, we drove over to Lenox at least three times one
summer. The Julliard String Quartet is playing there later this
month...are you going? I would if I lived where you do...what is it, a
two hour drive?

I actually saw two Maldonado guitars for sale in a local music instrument
store in the DC some years ago. Got anything like that at your shoppe?
Armik plays a Maldonado...ever even *hear* of either, up there in
Duxbury?

Sorry to break your heart, but yes, I have heard of Maldonado guitars and
am familiar with the history of them. You see, I've done some research
on guitars including the purchase of two comprehensive encyclopedias
dedicated to guitar brands, types, manufacturers and their histories. I
study them just about daily.

That said, I'd have no reason or purpose to buy and inventory a Maldonado.
It would collect dust.
My budding music shop business is geared towards a range of instruments of
interest to the majority of people, not an elitist, narrow minded snob who
turns his nose up to anything that does not meet *his* standards. You
know. Normal, decent people. I also desire to offer decent instruments
that are affordable. Currently the most expensive guitar in my inventory
is a mint, 2006 Martin HD28V. It is a vintage series Martin, built to the
pre-WWII Martin D-28 specifications. I acquired it and another guitar
from a professor (jazz composition) at the Berklee College of Music in
Boston who I had met for another reason about a year ago. He and his wife
visited our home in Duxbury Friday and we enjoyed a couple of hours
discussing guitars and music in general. You see, we also have access to
some cultural influences. We are just not snobs about it.

Hairy isn't a snob... he's just an asshole, that lies to top it off. You
know, a low life scumbag.
