And I never even worked in a music store!!<br /><br />But I really do miss the kind of store that would have a big stock of old guitars and amps you could, you know, actually play-test. Instead of deciding that the guitar looks awesome on a website and then crapshoot whether you would like it or not when it arrived.<br /><br />Ebay pretty much killed second-hand guitar shops.

On any given day, the reasons for the sounds being produced could be broken down as follows:<br /><br />1% - looking to buy, right now.<br /><br />99% - desperate to have musical genius noticed by everyone in store, right now.<br /><br />I do not miss it.Cameron Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659549078009511670noreply@blogger.com
