WoW!
Thanks for the COMPLETELY accurate review. You're so
right about the atmosphere. I always tell people this
in my desciptions of it: "Imagine a room filled with
instruments and music, and now imagine a bomb going
off in the room...and you have Foxes"...it seems to at
least stick in people's minds. And Leila, come stop
by to say hello sometime...although I am a
clarinetist, I'm usually back in the choral
department. I'm the younger of the two Eric's at the
store, or you can just ask for me by name. Thanks
again, and if you don't mind, I'd like to show your
comments to the owner and managers...I'm sure they'll
love it:-) Just tell me if it's ok or not, thanks
again.

from the Packrat's Lair,
Eric J.
