A few remarks...............

2012-02-10T14:25:00.000-05:00

I haven't been paying much attention here lately. I can see by the doorway counter that the shop's had a few visitors though. Google's new and improved Blog format does not do a very good job of providing me any stats, so it's difficult to tell just who's been in and exactly what it is they might like. The service here is one of selecting material that I chose and then assembling it for your convenience and listening enjoyment. I know that the place sometimes gets a bit musty, but not in an unpleasant way I think, and sure, it could use a good dusting now and then. I kind of like it when the dust motes can be seen floating in the shafts of sun light that come in through the window most afternoons. At least that's what I see when I think of the old shop. Well, that's about it for now. Come back again whenever you're in the neighborhood......................
