My mom used to drive me to R&B revues at the Dallas Sportatorium when I was in grade school. Ten groups for $3.00. Saturday nights at her best friend's house, we listened to opera on her best friend's Motorola console to the chagrin of her neighbors (her windows were always open in the Texas summers). I divided my attention between that and R&B on WRR-FM in her daughter's bedroom who showed me hers. That's how it began for me, puberty and a life long love of music. I manufacture and custom fit a very affordable improvement for conventional box speaker owners with surface mounted tweeters, Touchstone Tweeter Surrounds, recipient of a TAS Golden Ear Award '08. Glad to meet you.
