You've found your NG rhythm.

I guess. Guitar sales are slow.



All your customers are down at Wall Street! :)

Maybe. One thing this experience has taught me. There are many, many
talented musicians in this world.
Most are broke.

I wonder if you might have an opportunity there as a part time talent
scout/impressario? How about a weekly or monthly event at the store
where you give people 10 minutes each to strut their best stuff?

We pretty much do that already. Every Thursday night we host an Open Mic
from 6pm to 10:30 or so.
Some performers are very, very good. Some should never quit their day
jobs. But, it's all for fun.

We also have hosted some mini-concerts for performers who are trying to take
a serious step towards
major recording contracts, etc. One young lady has just about made it.
Another is doing a concert
November 19th.

I don't charge people for this. I actually enjoy having them perform and I
get a kick out of recording them
live and running the sound system to try and make them sound as good as
possible. I get help from others
in the industry also who really have a passion for this this stuff. I
enjoy it, but I really am not a very good musician
so, I stick to the amps, mixers, PA systems, etc. I occasionally sit in
with a band either strumming a guitar or
trying to play the Hammond to add a little effect.

If you go to the shop's website and click on the "YouTube" logo, it will
take you to the shop's YouTube channel.
There you can view over 140 videos of various people performing on the shop
stage, most from Open Mic nights,
but some from mini-concerts. The video and audio varies from so-so to
halfway decent, depending on what
equipment I was using at the time and when it was done. The shop website

I really like Jerry Perry and his daughters video.
