I bought a music book here once about three years ago. No one else was in the store. It was a Wednesday afternoon. I can't remember, but it might have been raining. Wait, no it was just drizzling a little. It was very quiet in the store. I don't remember hearing any music which at the time felt super strange - especially for a place called Mr. Music.

Yeah, there was a cool scene like that only it was Beethoven..
