Hello and Good Day,
Today in 1998, B.B. King recorded a live album with Raimundo Amador, Spain's premier exponent of gypsy flamenco-blues, in front of a capacity audience of 20,000 at Madrid's Las Ventas bullring. The Universal Music Hispania album, to be released in September of that year with 15 tracks, is called "Noche De Flamenco Y Blues." I just learned this today and am now going to get a copy. Should be good listening. Today is also Pi Approximation Day (22/7 is approximately equal to π). Great what you can learn. Just a couple things we found interesting. We also want to be your string supplier. Whatever you need, Banjo, Fiddle, Bass, Guitars we got 'em. We'll get them to you fast and we'll save you money. What could be better (Well, guess if we strung it for you too) but you get the point. Order up your favs - DR, Elixir, Hannabach, John Pearse, Savarez, SIT, Thomastik-Infeld and many more - and they`ll be on the way to you in no time. Enjoy the news of the day and All the Best.
P.S. Elixir strings on sale. Save $2.00 a pack on all Elixir strings for any instrument. The first, the original coated string and what a great price. Load up now. Only until the end of July.

We keep our string prices low so you get more bang for your buck (and who doesn't need more bang these days).
