Tales from the road

Hey there Sled Dog viewers! Manitoba Hal here out on the road in Ontario. I've been camping and playing music and checking out music stores all over the southern Ontario area. You know what I've learned? We carry the same quality instruments that you can get anywhere and for the same or (in some cases) even less than other retailers. I find it very interesting to see how many stores are chasing after the very real vibe that we have at Sled Dog. Mom and Pop stores are trying to be more folksy and big chains are trying to appear more friendly and helpful.

I saw some cool stuff including a new handmade parlour guitar that is made in Peterborough. Rick Fines was playing it when I sat in with him in a pub in Cobourg. The guitar was fantastic and reminded me of those old parlour guitars that Martin used to make.

What do you think, do we need more parlour guitars in our inventory? Is this something you'd like us to carry? Drop us a line and let us know so that we can order stuff if we need to.
