Sam Ash closing

Just saw Sam Ash will be closing all its stores by the end of July after 100 years of being in business. I remember going there as a kid and gawking at all the awesome drum sets I could never afford.  Yet another sad internet casualty and sign of the times but maybe an opportunity for the musicians among us to pick up a good deal.  Oh well.

  How Guitar Center keeps its  store open is a mystery.

They have been a money loser for decades.
