Pierre
Sorry to see you go. THANKS for the words of support and all the help you
have been to me. I know this was not an easy decision for you. I have
enjoyed competing with you and especially appreciated the fact we could
always count on each other for help when needed. I will try to keep you and
all your friends and previous customers informed. I will be lowering most
all my prices soon but not until you are liquidated. If you need help or
anything else I can offer please let me know.
Stay in touch my friend,
Les
Music Mixers
