Closing date
I'm now looking at next weekend as the last day for the business. The 21st to be exact. That will give me a little over a week after that to empty out the store fixtures and clean it all up.Might work out about right. I find it amazing that people are still buying stuff. There's not much left to buy. But they're getting desperate. They feel that they have to buy something. OK. How about a broken guitar strap? One dollar. Need a flute case? They don't have a flute. But they buy the case anyway because it's cheap. I've really started getting disgusted at all this. If these folks had all been here a month ago I wouldn't be closing this business down. But they're mindless robots, driven by cheap stuff. They aren't customers. Right now I'm beating Internet prices. I'm beating everybody's prices. Hence I've got a full house of mindless shopping automatons buying junk for pennies on the dollar. If I was still trying to make a buck, the store wouldn't have a soul in it. I've had several real honest to goodness loyal customers stop by in the last couple of weeks as well. Chat about the old days and I try and let them know the closest places to buy the things that they'll be needing. Some of them I'm really going to miss.

Hello, Mike,
I was so sad when I saw your sign that you were closing in December that I didn't have the heart to come in and say, "Good-bye." Our family wanted to purchase items from you at full price to help you stay in business whenever we could. In the past, we have purchased a violin chin rest; mallets for a marimba(I was substituting and wanted to teach the children how to play the instrument, Aug. 2005); guitar case; music stand; bassoon reeds; and trumpet lip(I don't know the proper name). Most of these items were for my two daughters.
Since I happened to find your web site(Sonica Music was closed), I would like to take this opportunity to say, "Good-bye!" and to express our appreciation. I certainly could not do it in person! So many of us miss your music store. Your store was attractively displayed and it was well-stocked. Whenever I came in with one of my children or by themselves, you always had what we needed. We thank you for being so helpful. You always wanted what was appropriate for your customers. Our family appreciated your sincerity. It was a great loss to our community that you had to close your store. My family and I wish you and your family well in whatever your plans may be for the future.
