folksy folks

Posted by Kate on 21st May 2009 in Uncategorized

We now got  ‘nough folksy stuff to keep even the folksyiest of folks folking around!  Banjer pickers are crawlin’ outta  them ther hills and  slinkin’ into ther local music store to purchase a new banjer because ther “old lady (or old man) done throwed it out agin.”

So Dick’s bin buyin’ up them stringed instruments to keep them pickers pickin’ and to keep ther wives (or husbands) a gripin”  an’ everyone else a hummin’ an’ a grinin’ an’ a singin’ an’ a ringin’.

We went an’ got ourselves some  mandolins and banjers and new gitters  an’  a fiddle an’ a dulcimer an’ a bunch of employees who’d be gettin’ on real good to sell ‘em to ya.

Thanks to Uke!

Thanks so much to all of uke who have been responding to the blog.  You guitar thanks and appreciation!

We’ve been trumpeting our classes and we hope you will take the time tuba long to one of them!

We note that many of you fiddle around with instruments already but we know these classes will be much better than staying home in the sax.

We’ll have our trap set for you!

Banjo you’ll have a good time!

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood.  Dick and Marilyn were busy paying bills and bossing around their daughter,  the supremely smart, witty, beautiful, and underpaid Kathleen, when all of a sudden in walked a customer!

“Who could it be?!” shouted Dick (he was a little deaf and assumed the others were too).

“I don’t know,” mumbled Marilyn.  (She knew Dick was  a little deaf, and used this to her advantage).

“What?!” shouted Dick.

Meanwhile, Katheen, in her constant attempt to get a raise, approached the customer.

“I’m looking for something musical!” the customer exclaimed.

Kathleen knew this was her chance to show her parents she was worthy of a hefty salary hike.

“You’re in luck!” she exclaimed back (she knew the first rule of selling was to mimic the customer.  People usually like themselves best anyway).  “We’re a music store!”

So enamored with Kathleen’s skill and knowledge of the business, the customer proceeded to purchase 45435453453423783 dollars worth of goods and services, and everyone lived happily after.

It was a nice day.

And it could be a nicer day tomorrow if this actually happens.

Come see us.
