Billy...You are soooo right. They treat you great at Corson Music and you might even get "Muttonhead" to show you a lick or two...hehehe...

My turn. I have known Dyke Corson for about 25 years and I can attest that he is as good as they come. Great guy. Also, Muttonhead is just plain cooooooool. Why would anyone shop at a chain store when you have this wonderful resource just a phone call away!

| It is great to be working at a store with so many steel players around and one that is owned by a guy who really cares about music and musicians. One of the best things about working for Dyke is that he is service oriented and does everything he can to make each and every customer happy. Billy, it is great that you have brought this to the attention of other forumites. |
