We still have a few FINE guitars . They need a HOME!

And....We still have some BBand pick ups, some displays and some Cases.

Use the from on this page to contact us and come on over to see what we have.

Also, anyone needing a fan or space heater just make arrangements to come and get one. There are some book racks and display items we'd love to get rid of, too.

The building is for LEASE. It would be a great space for a business needing a large hydraulic lift to get heavy things out of the basement!

It is a great rehearsal space for Bob's Basement Band!

A few really good buys left-good time to get strings, books, and an amp. Cases,Gig bags, one Uke,one banjo and 7 guitars!

For those of our great customers who want one last peek, we will be here Friday and Saturday from 12:00 until 4:00 p.m.  We have a couple of guitars left and some fixtures, posters and memorabilia.  After that it will be appointments only via the web site.

Since we are going to leave the site up for a while and I have nothing else to do, I am going to get political on this blog.  A customer asked me during the last presidential election why musicians and songwriters tend to be more liberal than some others.  My answer was that songwriters, especially, tend to be more empathetic to other people and people who are able to see others as the same as themselves tend to be more or less liberal.  I am a very proud liberal Democrat and it is not because I believe that the government owes everyone a handout, but because I believe that government's responsibility is to the people, because business and corporations can take care of themselves.  (Although from all the whining I hear from the right wingers you'd think that corporations and businesses were languishing at the bottom rungs of society.  Not awash with more money in the bank than ever in our history.)

So people have been asking me why we're closing.  It's very simple the economy is not improving the jobs outlook for the Nation because the Republicans in Congress believe it is to their political benefit to deprive President Barack Obama of a good jobs picture during the election.

Since people are uncertain about their employment, their savings and retirement funds, the value of their homes and other assets they are not purchasing extras.  And even though we may all think nothing could be more important than music, people are not spending for luxury items, except maybe the rich and they don't shop locally.  So our shop is closing, a dozen people are out of work, and I am very sad and very angry about the reasons.

If you think I am totally wrong about all this, comment.  If you want to continue the discussion, comment.  I will be happy to have that discussion with any and all.

In the meantime, please take care of yourselves and your families.  AND MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE!!!!

The finality of events is finally catching up to me, and to the rest of us here at Acoustic Music Revival.  The room is getting bigger, as Mike McGuffey said.  We still have a some pretty cool deals left but stuff has been selling at a pretty good pace.

There are a lot of people out there to whom we owe great thanks, way too many to list here.  I will give special mention to two of ours who are no longer with us: Terry Dalton was my first employee and I will always hold him close to my heart for all the years of friendship and laughter that we shared, and Mike Crowley, teacher, producer, and friend.  Bob Turner also gets a special mention, luckily he is still around.  Bob's remarkable talent and his loyalty for many years have been inspirational.  Thanks to Mike, Jon, Terry, Skip, Cary, Mel, Roger, Jonathan, John, Mark, Roy, Pat, Keith, Susan and Chris.  And special thanks to the many other musicians who have played here over the years.

Our biggest thanks goes out to our valued and loyal customers, we would have just been another empty store front without all of you great people who have filled our shop with music and love.  THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!

We'd like to share the fun we're having with this music!
