Bob Turner has been a solid fixture in the Denver music scene for decades. Though he was born in Omaha Bob’s family moved to Lakewood while an adolescent and began his singing career while studying engineering at C.U. in Boulder. The group he ended up singing with, “The Greenwood County Singers” was invited to play inLas Vegas and his career took off. He recorded with Harold Bradley, legendary musician and producer in Nashville, and was a back up singer on many of the hits of “The Association”.
I have noticed a trend among a number of local business areas, lately. I see a lot of signs encouraging people to shop locally. In Englewood we are beginning a campaign to encourage our neighbors to shop and browse among the many interesting stores that exist along Broadway.
There are many benefits to shopping local. When you shop in your neighborhood you are investing directly into keeping your local economy healthy. When you shop locally you are sending your tax dollars to benefit the fire and police departments that are charged with keeping you safe. Of course local tax dollars also help keep your streets paved and your trash picked up among many other services we all take for granted. When you keep your business local you enjoy the relationships built with local merchants and restaurants, this encourages the business to cater to you personally finding what your needs and wants might be and keeping your favorites on hand.
The best thing about our business here at Acoustic Music Revival is getting to meet and become friends with so many different, wonderful people. Our business is made more successful and more exciting because of people like yourself, who have been able to further pursue the dream of making good music for yourselves, your families and friends, and anyone else who cares to listen.
To all of you who shop locally with us, Thank You Very Much.
