YEARLY REMINDER: With the holidays coming up, if you weren't already
aware, you might find it interesting to know we DO offer layaway. We
want to help you give and get what you want, so here's a few examples of
how you can use this information:
~ You're buying something for
someone else, but don't want to bring it home right away, or are working
around a budget that doesn't allow for an all-at-once purchase, but
you've got 10%. We get it, you're good to go.
~ Your friends and
family don't know what to get you and you want to secure a particular
item, and if they're so inclined, and no one believes in surprises, they
can help contribute to the one larger item. You get something you want,
they get gifting out of the way, everyone's happy. Alternatively, you
can tell them we do gift certificates and you'll be able to put those
towards your item of choice.
~ You put that something you want on
layaway, your plan backfires and your friends and family insist on
buying you a tin of 3 flavors of popcorn, a sweater you'll have to wear
exactly once, and socks. If you put it on layaway now, you'll have until
the middle of January to pay it up yourself and get what you really
want. It's 90 days, after all.
And if THAT doesn't quite work out, we'll also extend your layaway in
increments of 30 days for a small fee. Can't make it to the shop often?
We can do invoices, so you can pay for and pick up your items at your
convenience. We're not unreasonable people.
Steve James is internationally
known for his mastery of blues guitar styles as well as for his deep
knowledge of the history of the great traditional players, from the
Piedmont to the Delta. Here, he teaches “Buddy Bolden's Blues,” a
classic jazz/blues in C that makes use of alternate bass fingerpicking,
the "thumb roll," and some funky New Orleans-style chords. Along the
way, Steve passes along musical insights that will be useful in figuring
out many other blues-based songs.
