Thank you for the beautiful story and stirring tribute to a life well lived. There are several things I love about being in the audio business. The first, is that I am helping people bring music into their lives and into their homes. Music is one of the most beautiful of God's gifts to us as humans. Music has the power to heal, to lift, and to bring joy. And the machines we purvey enrich our lives as a result. Second, are the wonderful people I have met along the way. Whether it's industry colleagues or customers, I have met folks who will forever be friends. These individuals have been and will continue to be sources of inspiration and goodness.
Sure, high end audio products can cost a lot of money and could be considered as excess by some. But if a person has the means, the passion, or the priority to obtain these technological marvels it can be a worthy place to put your hard-earned resources. There are a lot worse things you could spend your money on! I'm grateful every day for the blessing of music in my life. And grateful for the machines that allow me to experience it.
