Music Retailers<br />
By Anthony Vargas<br />
July is an especially<br />
exciting time for the<br />
music products indus-<br />
try. Summer NAMM is<br />
at the forefront of the<br />
thoughts of most music<br />

manufacturers, and with<br />
such a popular industr y-<br />
wide event comes the<br />
attendant deluge of new<br />
product debuts and<br />
major announcements<br />

the show, as well as of<br />

stores packed with kids<br />
