Of course it's OK, Michael. If it's folk music and it's available, people ought to know about it. We've always done what we can to support and promote businesses that provide us with the music we love - CAMSCO and Folk-Legacy records, various folk music clubs and venues, Elderly Instruments, and whatnot. Molly asked to use this thread to give notice about upcoming events, but I think people also ought to know about all aspects of Dusty Strings, including at least a general idea about the merchandise and services they have to sell. In general, we don't allow non-music advertising - but folk music is what we're all about. If we don't promote folk music, who will?
Seems to me that McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica is very similar to Dusty Strings. I'd love to have somebody maintain a PermaThread for McCabe's, and for Harry Tuft's store in Denver, and similar establishments.
