Well I've become a firm believer in shopping local so....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I called Music Unlimited &lt;a href="http://musicunlimited-monterey.com/default.htm"&gt;musicunlimited-monterey.com/default.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and I'm very glad that I did!!!  I got a better deal than I could have by shopping online or at the big stores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my Friends...I suggest to you that if you are a musician...check out your local music store first and if you are just shopping for any other item check and see if they can/will beat any of the competitors prices...then Shop Local...keep our economy moving forward...we all need to take care of each other and by shopping local we can at least stimulate our local economy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Music Unlimited...YOU ROCK!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John-Michael&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/michael/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/michael/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4886892141687964089-23789568215875367?l=jonmichaelblog1043thehippo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jonmichaelblog1043thehippo.blogspot.com/feeds/23789568215875367/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jonmichaelblog1043thehippo.blogspot.com/2010/09/musiciansshop-local.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4886892141687964089/posts/default/23789568215875367'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4886892141687964089/posts/default/23789568215875367'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonmichaelblog1043thehippo.blogspot.com/2010/09/musiciansshop-local.html' title='MUSICIANS...SHOP LOCAL!!!!'/><author><name>The Hippo Blog...</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01735022409040721825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2VcMxeXDhLw/STWrycP2PCI/AAAAAAAAAAY/LoXr3Ru2Atk/S220/pro.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2VcMxeXDhLw/TIfCZesY-gI/AAAAAAAAANE/lHxExjX7bXs/s72-c/td-20sx_kit_gal.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886892141687964089.post-3068474771185585462</id><published>2010-09-08T09:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-26T15:41:20.909-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ROD WILL BE OFF FOR A WHILE BUT WILL RETURN OCT. 14</title><content type='html'>ROD is Rockin' The Mucky Duck Friday October 14th, The Mucky Duck has Great food and a full bar and a Fantastic Staff makes any weekend Rock!&amp;nbsp;
