Didn't know this place existed!…read more Stopped in on a lark and bought three LPs right off the bat. This place is a dream. It's look and feel harken back to the old days of being able to wander into a record store shop around and flip through several hundred LPs check- out the latest stuff in from both the new and the latest used music. Then you can wander over to the other part of the store and look at the classic toys you grew up with and reminics about how much your Heman collection would be worth. Then snag a Voltron figure for your office shelves! I guess this shows how nerdy I actually am... but I know I will see many of you at this store!

I'm still an early beginner on bass, but I've been playing acoustic guitar for about 10 years so cut me a little slack The store has a great selection of instruments, which I really appreciated. However, the help I received was a bit inconsistent. At times, it felt like some employees weren't very interested in assisting me, possibly because I'm newer to electric gear. I was hoping for more guidance on what I actually needed, rather than just being pointed toward what was available to sell. That said, Kurt really stood out. He was super helpful, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable plugging in and trying things out even if I didn't sound great That kind of experience goes a long way. I did end up buying a bass and amp from the Kansas City location, and honestly, I don't think I would've made the purchase without Kurt's help. Appreciate it, man.

The employee previously messing with the synthesizer was now behind the counter up front doing something on a computer or register, but there was no customer opposite him. I'll order the mic from another merchant online.

Everyone in the shop is eager to assist or simply enjoying their job by playing the instruments. They also emphasize their ability to work out financing options. Thankfully I had a sidekick who knew the difference between a viola and violin and that brought about some great conversations with the staff. I grabbed a brochure as we headed out and it says "Together We Create." I couldn't agree more.

I am so pleased with the great piano teacher match through Shining Light Music. When I called to…read moreinquire about teachers, I communicated that our requirements are stringent: my son is 6 yrs old, and while he likes piano, he doesn't looove piano, so the lessons have to be fun and engaging to encourage his progress. He's had 1.5 years piano instruction, and he doesn't respond well to some of the "too basic" piano book courses we had temporarily explored with a couple past teachers, so it's a challenge to level him up with material and technique that is age appropriate and fun enough but not too basic, nor too complex. And we had limited time availabilty as our schedules are maxed... It's such a blessing that the receptionist recommended Ms. Emily Shelp! Ms. Emily is well qualified; she possesses a Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy from Bob Jones University and has been playing since she was 7 yrs old. Her bio is coming soon to the Shining Light Music teacher page. Best of all, she strikes the right notes - I couldn't resist the pun! - in working on my son's technique and making it fun. She motivates him with weekly fun point-competitions (to earn country stickers in his passport, medals, trophy, etc.) which has resulted in him reminding me that he has to memorize a song for the next lesson..cuz he wants the points! (whoo hoo, he's no longer resistant to practicing!!!!) I feel that she is the right piano teacher for his current level and needs; she employs a cheerful and focused Kindergarten/First Grade encouraging teaching style to keep all the lessons fun and on track, she's able to motivate and consistently award with positive reinforcement, able to redirect him when he gets silly (after all he's been in school all day, then straight to his lesson!) and I appreciate how she is able to teach finer technique in a way that he understands. She would be great for both beginner and advanced students.

Under no circumstances, would I ever recommend YouMoveMe to anyone…read more I am a navy veteran that grew up in a military home and I've moved no less than 30 times in my life. This was absolutely the worst move of my entire life. We have been lied to frequently, our move way exceeded the estimate by almost double, and nearly have of our furniture was damaged or destroyed. If that wasn't enough, the claims process has been a nightmare and the company stopped responding to us. Let's start from the beginning. Derek Ryan, the estimator, was not on time. He is a bit rough around the edges, but he talks a strong game and makes lots of promises. Promises on behalf of the company which were not kept. He told us that every employee of YouMoveMe was a full-time employee and that there were no temporary hires. Every employee would show up dressed professionally in a YouMoveMe uniform. Being as they had strong crews that have worked together for years, they would take the utmost care in wrapping our furniture and protecting the home. Needless to say, every single thing that was mentioned above was a lie. Not one single person was in a uniform. I had college kids, with saggy pants and their underwear hanging out wearing wife beaters. Many of the employees had started that week and were moving furniture with no knowledge. At one point 2 kids are holding our couch trying to figure out how to move it though our front door and one of the other movers had to step in and instruct them to rotate the couch. I figured this would be moving 101. These inefficiencies were quickly tallying up as the time on the clock was running. The crew came in and started moving things without protecting the home in any which way. This was incredibly disturbing as it was discussed thoroughly beforehand with Derek who assured us that care of the home and our belongings was the biggest priority of the company. Another lie. The movers were taking things out of the house so quickly that many items were not fully wrapped. It was horrifying. We had a set of matching pottery barn book cases that were located upstairs. The movers picked the first one up by its legs and as they were carrying it down the stairs, the legs ripped off. The mover looked at me and said, that looks like presswood and we won't pay for that. No less than 2 minutes later, they carry the next bookcase down in the same exact manner and its legs ripped off as well. There was no concern for our belongings. We watched as lampshades were dropped on the ground, then literally thrown on top of boxes in the back of the truck. We watched our Gardyn hydroponic system being hastily carried by a young mover get dropped and shatter all over the asphalt. Boxes dropped. Heavy objects stacked onto leather chairs and softer objects, destroying them I the process. We had a full set of crate and barrel, white, leather dining chairs that were nearly $700 each. We watched horrified as they got tossed around, poorly wrapped, then stacked with heavy objects. This discolored the leather and stretched the leather out, completely ruining their beauty. We had brand new ArHaus furniture pieces that we watched horrified as they were stood up on their side and then scooted along the ground, grinding the finish away. A metal and acacia table from ArHaus was broken from lack of care after we repeatedly warned them that it was incredible expensive and to please take extra care. Again, no regard for the care furniture. This continues on in all sorts of wash, from stacking boxes onto our crushed velvet swivel chairs, stretching and tearing the fabric, to loading boxes onto our couch cushions, disfiguring them. Our outdoor furniture was treated so poorly. We had a set from crate and barrel, the broke apart the areas where the wood was joined. Dropped them and chipped of chunks of wood. Gouged out pieces (I don't even know how) on the arm rests, and lost the hardware that connects them. Then, they also took our cushions and shoved them into what they call a "speed box" I'll get to the horrors of these later. Then they stacked heavy objects on top of those. They were so badly mangled, and the SunBrella fabric, stretched, that they are not even functional. We couldn't believe it. They dropped our concrete outdoor tables. One cracked in half. They didn't even mention it to us. The other has multiple chips out of it. We had a $700 large, realistic, but fake agave potted plant. Destroyed. They stacked boxes on top of it. Any person in the world would assume that you wouldn't stack things on top of a fake plant. Well they also put fake plants into "speed Boxes" then tossed other heavy objects on top of them, ruining most of our fake plants. They did the same with our Christmas tree and our wreathes. So you know, we didn't sit idle while these things weee happening. We tried to address in the moment and were largely ignored by the movers. We saw the move going poorly and called Derek for support,
