16 Jun 23 - 08:41 PM (#4174716) Subject: BS: Experience Running a Folk Music Store?? From: Peter T. Hi everyone, I am a long term Mudcatter who has been away for a while (long story). I was wondering if I could ask for some help from anyone who has worked in or run a folk-type music store? I am writing a novel about a Buddhist priest (North American) who in his daily life runs a folk music store -- and who better to ask than here????????? I would be thrilled for any help, and would lavish acknowledgements. What I am most looking for (and given the vast changes in the music business) is details on what running such a store entails -- e.g. stocking, expertise, challenges, etc. I have spent endless amounts of time in various music stores, some in this genre, and am proposing as well populating it with characters I have known or run across.... If anyone has a good novel or existing description of such a beast, that would be great too. Thanks for anything!! yours ever, Peter T. |

No doubt, he'd have some great stories. I wonder if his son might.... I think his name is C.T. Thieme. Is anyone in contact with him? |

From: Mr Red If there is any humour involved - there are plenty of musician type jokes that could be hinted at/alluded to - rather than spelled out - as it were. As part of characters' dialogue, kinda thang. I would shy away from examples, not being a musician. I am a drummer. |
