Since I opened the record store I have had several people ask me to start selling strings for guitars and other instruments. As luck would have it someone came in with a bumch of records and as we talked he also had some new boxes of strings he was wanting to sale. So now there are strings for sale at the record store if you need some. If you haven’t been in the store yet we have musical instruments for sell in the back room, we also have banjos. So come on by and check it out.

Being an old bookstore guy I don’t do keep up well with changing technology. People have been after me to upgrade my computer system (currently running windows 7). I resisted change but finally a friend of mine showed up at the shop with a newer computer and installed it for me. Time to join the 21st century. So bear with me as i go through the learning curve and get familiar with it. He also insisted I use the new keyboard and mouse he brought. Too much change. I was quite comfortable with my old mouse. Change is hard.
