[@NextPlayRecords]

Y’all are so relatable and down to earth. Folks like that. Congrats on 10 years of marriage and a year of Noble Records store! We will be back to see you soon.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much! We try!

[@christopheratkins7746]

I'm from Wisconsin and when all of this bullshit is over I'm coming down to buy me some records. ...and thanks for the shirt, you two!! Hopefully see you soon !!!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks man! Hope to see you soon!

[@sidvicious3129]

Dylan you and your wife are “The American Dream”.

[@timothymartin548]

I’m wanting to get into collecting records. Stumbled on your videos. You guys are absolutely great! God bless!

[@XZITT]

Yes, They're. And you got a Smart lady there. Love 2 both of you. God Bless.

[@walterpen371]

Congrats to both of you. Dillon and Emily you truly are soul mates. Wishing you the best for many years to come. Peace.

[@noblerecords]

Thank you! We are!

[@stevedundee866]

Really inspirational to hear your story Dylan. Remember that Elvis was dirt poor and used to drive trucks. May you be blessed like he was ! Good on you for following your passion 👍

[@kayleebowman608]

This is giving my 16 year old, pizza working shop self some hope for the future, thanks a lot, so glad for your success! Love supporting the local vinyl shops during the pandemic 😌

[@aminoto-3]

Well don’t you two look beautifully happy together.. I love this channel, best find this year.

[@noblerecords]

Thank you!!!! Thanks for watching!

[@weirdspins6315]

Some days I struggle. Thank you for helping me today with feeling better about being myself.

[@05645ci]

I'm so impressed with your work ethic, determination, and passion....as a wholesale rep in the shoe biz for 40 years I've met 100's of independent retailers, and I'm immediately drawn to the both of you....you have all the intangibles to be a very successful merchant, and believe you me I'm rooting for you and your family. Your love and dedication to each other is so inspiring. I'm 67 and just recently had my vintage turntable restored, and replaced all paper & plastic sleeves for my record collection. I live here in Charlotte and I'll be by to congratulate you on your success and buy some records from you. Best wishes for your continued success, y'all rock!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much! I’m always there Fridays and Saturdays! Sometimes throughout the week! Hope to see you soon!

[@TomTobin67]

Similar to my story: In spring 2019, I started my custom guitar business. I put up my first,second and third guitars on NAMM 2020 weekend......then Covid-19 hit. :(

[@dimebagdave77]

I'm here in New Bern, N.C. I've been watching you grab those cool collections for the store and enjoying seeing your personal stuff.especially the Led Zeppelin 🤘🔥 I admire what you two have done man, something I've always wanted to do myself

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much man! It’s been a Wild ride!

[@1drible]

I've always wanted to have a record store since I was a child. I think you give a lot of people inspiration. You seem like a good dad on you bust your ass.. you and your wife are amazing. God bless you and I hope you prosper and God bless Noble!

[@robison5396]

Great to hear your story guys.So happy for you that you've ridden the storm of Covid and you're still going strong.It's so true what you say about " delayed gratification " . Good things always come to those who wait.Vinyl collecting is also about time and nostalgia and to nurture and appreciate, but like a warm fuzzy place, we want to keep returning to it.I wish you both continued success.😉👍

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much man!

[@KingFahtah]

A psych record for Emily? How about Emily by Emily Bindiger.... umn nm

[@wallypearson4047]

See Emily Play

[@218maryland]

This was very inspiring. You both are brave as hell also! Kudos to you two, all the best

[@mlblue5355]

Amazing people! I’m very happy that you followed your passion. It must be very difficult to sell some of the albums you acquirer. I hope things can continue to get better and better! Your videos are awesome! I’m learning a lot! Thanks!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@SPSteve]

There was a record store in Sioux City Iowa called Uncle John's that was located in an older residential area. The store had tremendous atmosphere and amazing music was always playing back when vinyl was king (CD's didn't exist). The store was a destination. If I had my vinyl moved to digital I'd offer up my 550 LP's. I'm enjoying your videos and I'm buying a t-shirt. Good luck with the store!

[@EnzoRocks]

Love it, Great story. I can relate, so happy for you guys~🤘🏼 I have renewed faith in the possibility of a rewarding personal relationship too, Ha! Emily is your grail, Congrats. ✊🏼 Keep up the good fight!

[@Bootradr]

Good luck with the new record store! I'm sure it doesn't feel new after already doing it for a year. But whatever the case, I hope y'all are very successful with it. I found your KZbin channel through a comment made on another KZbin channel I am 95% sure as I have been learning and reacquainting myself with the vinyl passion again. And I've enjoyed your videos and the knowledge you share in those videos. I'm a diehard Led Zeppelin fan as well as the diehard Journey fan (certain eras of Journey anyhow). But I just love music and have since I was a kid. I love all kinds of good music and thrive on the mid-60s to maybe mid '80s era of rock and roll the most. My tastes and ear for music has changed through the years as well and I have noticed that vinyl collecting really expands my desire to check out things I never even considered checking out during the CD years. I don't know why? But I know that it's something I have noticed. It could be the fidelity of the medium or the memories associated with the albums I grew up listening to. Music can take you places in your mind, back to specific times and moments in your life, like nothing else can do. At least it's that way for me and a lot of people I know. So I'm always a supporter of those who are trying to help me with my passions. And especially when they share the same passions themselves. I'm legally blind now and I didn't really think I'd be able to get back into vinyl collecting like I used to do until I actually did it. Not only for visual reasons but financial reasons as well were factors since I don't make the money I used to when I had a normal job. But I'm so glad I took the plunge a little over a year ago and started collecting again when I had the funds to purchase a good turntable and start purchasing the music I wanted on vinyl. It's definitely a trip down memory lane and it's something I have been very active in, and learning a lot about, over the last year and a few months. I can't explain what it does to me when I'm able to sit back and enjoy the incredible audio and remember, and sort of relive, what the music did to me decades ago when I was first getting into it. It's a wonderful medium and I'm glad to hear that so many others have been getting into vinyl again as the vinyl revolution surges. I didn't even know that was happening when I was able to finally start back. I just learned about it as I learned about a lot of things dealing with vinyl and vinyl collecting nowadays that I didn't really know about when I was younger. But it's great to see the community of vinyl enthusiasts that are out there today and see how well this passion is thriving! Oh yeah, and not to forget mentioning the younger generation I have seen getting into a lot of the older music on vinyl. I had all but given up hope on the "youngsters" (I'm 55) carrying on any of the great classics we love. Little did I know, there really are quite a number of new collectors that are really young and getting into the same stuff like Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd or whatever that we did when we were there age. They're going to be the ones carrying it on in the decades to come once we are gone :-) Again, good luck on the record store and if I'm ever out in your part of the country I will definitely be stopping in and browsing/buying. I'll probably be buying from you online before that too haha. God Bless and keep up the good work! 🎶😎🎶.

[@webdoc90]

Finally got to visit today. Saw you for a second. I opened a small business Feb 2020. Doing well just like you are. Congrats. I purchased your Cork City recording from the wall.

[@bishlap]

Love the shirts you're both wearing .... should I order black or gray...or both :-) Peace and thanks for a great channel. P.S. Happy Anniversary.

[@ASennaFan]

Great video and very inspirational. I also have an autistic son and can relate, it sounds like you are great parents and I hope you have all the success you deserve with Noble Records.

[@noblerecords]

Thank you so much! That means a lot!

[@ufobigfoot4002]

Man I’ve been following your journey for awhile and can’t express how much i respect you and your family for following your dream. And I will get to your shop one day and buy all the punk and new wave!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks man!!!

[@permit40]

I have a huge collection of records and CDs. I will visit your store one day! I live in Florida, but my family was in North Carolina since the late 1700's Waxhaw NC. The earliest ancestor, Jaz Wilson owned a general store and blacksmith shop in Waxhaw. Love your passion for music!

[@daveschrom]

Nice vid.. Good relief from the worries of the Pandemic.. I've been ordering more LP vinyl's from eBay. Still looking for a good copy of Styx - Pieces of Eight.. Guess I need to take a trip to North Carolina, the Andy Griffith State !!

[@nclare7]

Great video. I just started following you and subscribed. I'm an old 70s hippie. Let my record collection go years ago. I don't know what I was thinking. A huge, huge, huge regret. Trying to replenish over time. I live in FL. If I lived in NC I'd be a regular. I will definitely be stopping by when I travel in my camper van. You guys are great.

[@spookyofficial2913]

Hey Dylan, quick question, I have been considering opening an online jazz vinyl store but I was wondering if I got to pay the original vinyl owner (the artist) for the vinyl? So for example can I sell an Art Blakey CD/vinyl and do I need to give art blakey some of the money?

[@dzh70]

Hey guys, just so you know, I discovered your channel during the lockdown here in Serbia, Europe and you make those shitty days brighter. :) Thanks for all the great videos and recommendations that helped me discover a lot of cool music. Keep up the great work and hope your shop stays open for many many years. :)

[@johnbarrington2526]

I’ve been thinking of selling records as well. I’m going to look at a collection today. 3k records for 300 bucks. Might be a bunch of crap, but it’s exciting to see what’s there

[@vagabond197979]

Seen a few of your videos but had no idea you were located in NC. Looking forward to stopping by next time I'm down from Greensboro!

[@HDaudioEnhance]

Life is crazy. But this is a great story. All the best. I'm from South Africa, but if i'm ever over there in Charlotte will def. come in and say hello! ;)

[@DancehallWashington1]

I live in Germany, friends of mine also have a great record store and recently we often have the discussion about the important of local shops, local artists and local culture. We need that! We need people like you. We need shops like Noble Records. Its major essential to the society. Maybe one day i have the chance to visit you´re record store. Maybe... Awesome job and all the best for your and your families future :)

[@brada.7248]

Hi there and happy New Year.! Don't know who you are I've come across a couple of your podcasts or whatever you want to call them , obviously I'm internet ignorant but to get to the point whoever you guys are I think you're great I listen to you talk to this guy about 180 g records that was great and lightning makes sense too I consider myself an audio file I've been into audiophile equipment since I was hell 13 and I'm 60 I've laid off for the last 15 years or so due to health and whatnot but I just want to say you guys are really likable and I love the conversations and the topic that you address you get into it and it's really interesting educational informational and I just want to say I'm rooting for you guys and if I knew the name of your place and saw your line perhaps I'd even buy a shirt or something from you either way you have such a stranger here that is really impressed with you and wishes you all the best and then some God bless you guys and I believe and hope and pray that it is only uphill from here keep up the great work I think you guys got what it takes and that half of that is simply just the way you are your demeanor etc. I did not proofread this so half of it's probably coming out nonsensical sincerely your new fan

[@aaronjapo]

Pet Sounds IS Pop Psych. I get it, Surf is 60's pop, but you have to consider the time in which it came out and that it inspired Sgt Pepper. Psych is foundational to the creative path that rock n roll took post Pet Sounds as well.

[@transformationgeneration]

I have some big band swing records. They'll make you a millionaire. I'll take a hunert dollars for'um :)

[@guyot1979]

Congratulations! Great story, great people, sounds like great shop. Love your vids.

[@grumplepig]

Thanks for sharing your story. I’ve been thinking about opening a record store for months, but still unable to commit.

[@trippwarren170]

Thanks for the video. I'm new to your channel. I live in a small town in Texas and am considering turning my small collection into a business. I have tons of questions!

[@mateuszkolodziejski5525]

Do you plan to ship your apparel to Europe (Poland to be specific)? Would love to get one of these t-shirts and sweatshirts.

[@bryanakers6023]

I'm from Cleveland, but travel down south from time to time. Love records, and if we're ever in Charlotte - we'll stop in!

[@roybean7166]

I live in cape town, south Africa, I find that after about 10. - 15 years these second hand record shops been open here, the good stuff all been sold. Do you have same problem there ?

[@noblerecords]

Not really, just have to keep finding more stuff!!!

[@krystaltee9769]

The "good stuff" is always circulating, my friend. You have to be vigilant 🙂

[@seansrecords]

i am in the same boat as you low cash , and got a chance to open !! hardly anything to sell and i am going to gut my collection to start which hurts but i am confident stuff will come back ... i have an account with a distributor so hopefully get some credit to get started !! maybe loan a couple k to start up from family luckily i have another business which pays my bills so as long as the shop covers its own costs to start i can get by ... but it is small - probably only hold a few thousand records but theres not a shop on my side of a very big city so i reckon i will be ok - just need a few dream collections to walk through the door in the first few weeks ! watching you gives me hope though !! similar story too , married 14 years with a kid and even though i have my own business i hate it and want to do something else so the wife agreed if i keep earning to pay bills i can have the shop - so heres praying it takes off so i can give up the other job eventually ... any tips im all ears ! im in the uk, wish i was closer to you for a chat :-)

[@coreysmith9195]

This video made me wanna subscribe. Stumbled upon you recently collected forever, been a full time Vtg dealer for years, got over records when it felt stale and hard to find, now clothes are stale and I am diving deeper into selling records and loving your videos and your taste.

[@troupetrice3720]

Just stumbled on your channel and love y’all already! Bravo on taking the risk and better yet, doing it together! Love it!

[@007KrausBean]

Me and my best friend have already decided that when we can finally get back to road trips we will be making it out to your shop from Ohio. Wish we could do that now. Soon enough we will make it out there. Hang in there and keep it pushing.

[@noblerecords]

Come on over!

[@waynec8035]

Congratulations on a successful business to both of you and for sharing your experiences. I know it wasn’t easy. I was part of the recording industry and helped engineer and mix many local albums here in Hawaii during the 70’s. I applaud you keeping the vinyl recording industry alive and enjoy your channel. I just ordered one of your t-shirts I thought was very appropriate. You are correct, “Vinyl is not going anywhere”. Aloha and stay safe to you both.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much!

[@jamescurcio4852]

God Bless! Your story is awesome. Dreams can come true with belief and hard work!

[@J91jj]

Do you sell to sweden? From your store? In any how? Great shop great videos good luck in the future

[@valentinogarcia836]

any other advice such as getting a loan or investors? and how much you need to get started? i plan on opening one, and other distributors besides alliace? and pos system?

[@utp216]

Such an awesome story! And you have the best partner in the world! 🤗

[@ratherunfortunatelol]

Super inspirational. I’m in Southeastern VA and I hope to make it out there one day.

Congrats on your new records store !

[@wesleysteyn3006]

Awesome post guys!! I am so happy for you two that you guys were able to ride the pandemic out so far. May your business just go to new heights year after year. I love your you tube channel and will definitely buy some merchandise, all the way from the UK 👍🏻

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much!

Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪☘️Love your passion for music and your enthusiasm. Anyone who likes Led Zeppelin is cool by me. Best of luck for the future, keep up the great work 👍

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching!

[@andygoldblatt]

What an inspiring story. Best of luck to you and congrats on following your dream. I know exactly where you're located and look forwarding to visiting next time I'm in Charlotte.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks! Hope to see you soon!

[@michaelday1192]

I'm just getting into records, the more time I spend with the vinyl the more I learn. 6 yrs ago I inherited a collection been through the 45's three times organizing now I'm starting the Lp's getting a lot of sealed or nm. Uncle had a collection of over 30 yrs.

[@TraxandGrooves]

I live in California. Do you still sell through the mail?

[@prepperpatty199]

If you had to auction a very valuable record what auction house would you use?

[@r.l.steenvoorde3732]

Hi ,from holland.great videos thanks.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching!

[@morrischoo9960]

I bought up every I could from 1996 to 1998 of records collections at yard an estate sales in the Sacramento area. Now after all of the years of everything else and needing an income after losing my farm and wealth after divorce and cancer, I am looking into the massive collection of vinyl. My electronics background and tube hifi hobby and now singing and saxophone have me really into music at a different level than 25 years ago. I will start again in sorting and getting the records ready for sale and will be looking into a retail spot to sell them. About 18,000 albums, and maybe 10,000 45s and 78s to sell. I appreciate your telling your story of why you did the store. I have the Hw17 and Hw19 rcm and table from VPI. I also met many in the hi fi business at hi fi 97. Friends with JS of stereophile and had a on on one with Victor or BAT. But it's the records that have the soul. Hopefully I can find a few jewels to make some money. It's tough being broke after health issues. But I thenk you for being a light and encouraging me to give it a go at trying to sell other than ebay. I sold most of the 20 and 25 dollar new MFSL 200 anadiscs I bought at the 97 show. Made a huge profit. Wish I had bought more than the 30 albums I bought. But will finally get this collection to work for me in this crazy reinvention of life. Thank you..

[@noblerecords]

I hope it’s a successful venture for you. If you ever want to sell it all to one dealer, I have a lot of friends in your area I could refer you to. Email: [e-mail]

[@RPCmuzique]

I'll echo the comments below...Great story! Thank you for posting, very inspiring.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much!

[@maxsc3143]

Hi Dillion, it’s an amazing story. I’m staying now in Iceland and have been residing in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore. You have inspired me and I kind of having a similar experience as you, i.e. hating horrible bosses, collecting records, wanting to open a record store for the past 5 years. Well, if I open a record store one day, I will let you know. I hope to visit you one day in NC. Cheers pal

[@noblerecords]

I hope you can! Thanks for Watching!

[@ihrinbaxiuse]

Hi, my name is Oliver. I found your channel a couple o' days ago and I jave to say that I love this content. You (& your wife) seem really genuine, ad I can really connect to you regarding your love for records (even tho our genres of choice differs). Anyway, just wanted to say "hi" and wish you a happy future! Big love right @ ya from the cold north of Sweden! Cheers!

[@noblerecords]

Hey thanks!

[@FlyingTies]

Love this channel, thanks for all the videos!

[@zbrady]

Bro when I clicked your link I had no intention of watching this whole video, but so inspiring. You hit the nail on the head...your wife can make or break your dreams! I ordered a T-Shirt but I hope my family can come to the shop soon!

[@noblerecords]

Zach! Long time no see! Let me know when you can visit! I’ll make sure to be there! Would love to catch up!

[@tanduay64]

Fantastic video...such a positive influence. Thanks for laying it out there.....

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@morganboy1]

Great hearing your story. I have a sole proprietor business myself. I actually started watching your videos a while back not knowing that your shop is literally five miles from my house! Once I figured that out I've stopped in a number of times. Great selection and wonderful shop, I will definitely be stopping in on a regular basis. I wish you guys the best.

[@bendavis5767]

Really appreciate your authenticity and the passion you have for the things you love. Really enjoy the videos you put out. Keep up the good work!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much!

[@booklover3959]

You guys are such a cool and beautiful couple. As you know you are so fortunate to have a wife that supports you through the hard times and believes in your dream. For me that is way better than the music (and believe me I love music). So God has blessed you guys and may He continue to more.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@keithvincenttucker9923]

I actually do try to talk Walmart down. I try to talk everyone down. In places like Walmart, it hasn't worked yet, but I will keep trying.

[@noblerecords]

Hahah

[@benjaminsavage4204]

Thanks for the recommendations!

[@MarkP]

You guys are awesome! I really enjoy your Q&A videos. I wish I didn't live a half a country away because I feel like I would be a regular at your store:) One question I had was: how do you come across a collection to buy? Do you search them out somewhere or do people contact you? Where I'm from I don't see people advertising record collections. I'm curious to know how that all works. (You can reference me to a video you've made on the topic if you've mentioned it before and I've missed it)

[@rabidmonkey4506]

Greetings from Ohio, I love your story and I hope I’ll be able to come down and visit your shop some day!

[@noblerecords]

Thank you!

[@happyhippythevinylguy]

Very happy stroy guys! Would love to road trip down to the store one day. I bought one of your t-shirts but no I just need to go to the store. Peace

[@noblerecords]

Thank you man!

[@moodyvol89]

Are you able to carry new pressings as well? Im just curious as to how sustainable buying collections will be in the future. I live records both new and old so ill buy either .

[@moodyvol89]

Love your passion for what you do and how hard you work to keep it going.

[@mariojohnson2186]

About to open my record soon music is my life

[@Frip36]

This guy has a wife. Why don't I?

[@RedrooAU]

Wow...so powerful, you guys should branch out...open up a store here in Australia...Sun, Surf, Sand, Bondi ( pronounced Bondeye) Beach or Curl Curl beach, or San Soucie ( pronounced Suzie) WooHoo... Rock On: from Sydney Australia

[@melbxs]

You guys are awesome. Your videos got us all thru covid lockdowns and isolation. It's a dream of mine to visit your store.

[@noblerecords]

Hope you can someday!

[@Roberob1189]

I’m glad you both did well, and then survived during the pandemic. You both are great and I absolutely love your videos. Keep it up. It will only get better. It will only go further. I always had records. Never really listened much. Just had them because they were part of “history”. Recently about a few months ago I got into vinyl heavy. Going a a search for specific records, coming home from a long day of work and laying down vinyl is amazing. I bought high end speakers, a high-ish middle of the line record player and added a bunch to my already existing collection of records all in the last few months. It’s great. Wish you both the best.

[@GilWandered]

I searched up how to open a record store and this was the first video I clicked. Sure it was 42 min long but I was listening to this as if it were a podcast and re-sleeving a bunch of records! I'm so happy I found this video and it was so relatable, to an extent. New sub and I love the content you have Dylan and Emily, I'm definitely going to stop by when passing through town! Hope you guys are still doing great and business is booming!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much!

[@touchofdumb]

What if you made a very small “The Haggle Bin” with a sign that says “Dude! These are the ONLY records I will haggle on!” Keep a few in there, sparse. Who knows, over time it could train folks and cut down on energy vampires.

[@sylvainripaud]

I'm glad I watched the video till the end. You made my day with the parental stuff ! But congrats for your amazing and also very emotional story. Long Life Noble Records 🙏

[@transformationgeneration]

No matter what happens, do not let the business, good or bad, have an effect on you two as husband and wife. If doubts come up, discuss it. But, nothing is more important than your family. Family, then family and then family.... then, business :) I'll go in and order a shirt.

[@matshult4781]

Big Hello from Sweden. So great to see you to talking about opening Noble Records and all the efforts you had to put in to get it running. Also thanks for all the great videos Dillon. It is very inspiring I must say. Cheers and peace from Malmo Sweden.

[@willyb188]

Officially subscribed! I'm pretty discriminating on whom I subscribe, and have disagreed with some of your opinions. So bringing together what I have learned from this video and the fact that you have opinions that I can disagree with, makes you legit and someone I can learn from (When the student is ready, the teacher appears.) I thank you both for being so down-to-earth and consistent. Hoping 2021 brings much joy and profit!

[@curaeus007]

Hi from Australia. Love your videos. Great to see you having success doing something you obviously love. And you are lucky to have Emily right by your side-what a lady! Retail is hard all the time everywhere, even without Covid. Hope you continue to be successful.

[@sonsaanich]

Hey! I’m up in Victoria, BC. I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos- the finds, the grails, life through your collecting and your commitment to open a store. You 2 rock! Visiting your store is now on my bucket list.

[@lanesumner2293]

Great story. Thank you.

[@northcarolinavinylpicker]

Loved the video , glad I could come to your store this year. I were your shirts here in Florida and people ask me all the time about your store, I tell them it’s great. Go on line and check them out. Have a good day. Art

[@pub6023]

Awesome story of hard work, teamwork and just a sprinkling of luck! I wish you both all the best for your venture, believe me vinyl will never go away a second time……so many people made that mistake once, it won’t happen again! My father once told me “the only business partner you should have is the one you share your bed with”, I guess you proved that right. Cheers from Oz🍻

[@adamscott1205]

Loved this video guys! Had just watched your podcast one talking with Emily about all the years leading up to the store. I know you will continue to have great success because of all the hard work and sacrifices you have both endured to get where you are! God had the plan all along- you guys had the faith, endurance and love to make it happen. Great couple, great story and an amazing record store! Blessings to you and your boys.

[@larstu24]

I just found this video and I will watch the others. Good on both of you,, all the best.

It is so lovely that you share your story. Especially so because you are so frank about the financial challenges, so many people want to pretend it’s all glamorous. Its really refreshing to hear the real of it not just the frosting on top.

I'm a music junkie and I live in New York City and I just of course do the pandemic have had a life adjustment LOL anyhow I've been going through KZbin and I came across your channel and I absolutely love it and this particular presentation with you and your wife and how you got started is absolutely just an incredibly beautiful story of what two people who believe in each other can achieve and when they work hard to be in sync going in the same direction what the result can be well all I can say is congratulations on the first of multiple decades and of course hopefully someday if I pass through North Carolina I will stop in at your store. God bless you both and keep this world rocking with all the good music that there is because music is a universal language.
