How many of us have worked in audio stores?

I'm with Albert. It's the relationships that make this so interesting,...and the look on a thrilled customers face! John Entwistle (bassist for The Who) once said, "I do this because I have to. The money, the fame, the other perks are nice, but playing is what I was born to do. I'd be doing this even if we never made it big." This is my feeling on owning a Hi-End store. Some months we operate at a loss and I want to have my head examined. Then somebody says, "Thank you, I absolutely love it!" and it all makes sense again.
