The Adelaide

So far so good! The show just kicked off. With Trent Rush! Solid performer! Many more bands playing tonight plenty of time to come down and hang and support!

O and never give up!

Pleasing God, Pleases you, more than pleasing yourself!

Also an update: in the last 4 months things have improved at the business. I have added several new students and am advertising much more! I am working twice as many hours in the shop as usual. And hope to have the place ready to open with posted business hours soon! I still need about 8 students to put me in the driver seat! And the concerts have to deliver! I feel like the most fortunate guy on the planet. I still love owning this business even with hardships. My family has been amazing my wife and kids love me no matter what. And that leaves me speechless. I look forward to my worship band and evangelism opportunities to broaden as the business grows. The only direction is up. Opportunity is what you make it! Thanks you guys who have supported and invested in the dream!

It's nights like tonight that remind me why I do what I do! Awesome energy great people awesome show! I love my Job!

Doors are open! Here we come 2015!!!

First show of the year! Both are gonna be awesome!

So I am making my official statement.

(First let me say I hope not and I have a plan to keep it open and beyond!)

A lot of talk has been going on about The Adelaide closing its doors and with it my music shop. I am trying everything I can to keep the doors open. I love this job. I love my students. I love the shows! We had a little trouble last December due to a freak ice storm. But we had an awesome "Save The Adelaide Concert" that was overwhelming and it kept us alive! But this time around its a little bit more than the weather. We've had 4 of the last 5 shows canceled for one reason or another and that has brought us to our knees. Ive never seen anything like it. However if I can manage to sell a few of my personal high end guitars and a few amps I can maybe stay open for another month or two. But I need more than one concert to keep the place going. I'm needing to add about 20 more students. And change everything about how I book bands and promote shows. I'm gonna do everything I can to be the best husband and father I can be to my amazing family and if I need to close down and get another job that's what I will do. And so the rumors are true I will be closing down if I fail to sell a Gibson Flying V and Orange AD 140 head for a bargain! Of course to continue to keep the doors open I will need Terrell and the Terrell area to catch my vision. If a handful of people could do a little this place could be amazing. I'm never giving up and it won't be the end I will be back. Many of you know what this place really is. I have to have hope! Please pray for me and my family as we move forward. There is much more to say but I will leave it at this for now.

Pleasing God, pleases you, more than pleasing yourself! ..
