It's been a hard summer, but today I celebrate myself and my business as we turn one year older. I was 24 years old when I said yes to the idea of working for myself and I opened up a little stringed instrument repair shop in Canal Park. I have no idea how so many years have passed! I am 40 years old now and I have had the privledge to chart my own course for almost my entire adult life. It's not always easy, but it is all mine. Yet, I owe this community everything. Without you and your continued support I wouldn't be able to do this. So, thank you. Look for changes as summer gives way to fall! I plan to begin running an appointment-only style business to better keep to the repair and restoration work that is the lifeblood of my shop. Who knows what happens next? Also, Happy Birthday Albus.
