HippyKritz Music and More in Abilene Texas

Good afternoon folks.  I am happy to announce several new developments that we are really excited about here at HippyKritz Music.  First of all, our buddy Kirk House is in Austin today auditioning for American Idol!!  Kirk won the local competition at the Mall of Abilene recently and gets to do the Austin audition without camping out on the sidewalk, waiting in line, etc.  If you know Kirk you know what a good singer he is and what a cool guy he is. Who deserves to be a rock star more??  Good luck Kirk! We are rooting for you!!  Our buddy Ric, one of our guitar instructors, recently won the 2010 Blues and Rock Gazette Guitarist of the Year.  How cool is that?!  I’ve said a thousand times how fortunate we are to have the instructors we have here at the store.  So again, many thanks to Ric, Ryan D, Eric, Dion, and Tighe for teaching their instrument of choice here at our store.  We have recently dressed up all of our lesson rooms and I must say they are a ripe environment for learning. If you haven’t checked out our instruction rooms, come by the store and take a look.  Business has been great and a huge HippyKritz thank you goes out to all of our loyal customers  – it’s a blessing to see you all on a daily basis.  Summer is almost over and school will soon be back in full force. It has been a lot of fun having our little drummer boy hanging out at the store with us while school is out.  The last Open Mic Night night was another big success and we want to thank all who come out to perform and to listen - the two kiddos who sang and played piano were the stars of the night!!  On that note, I am in the process of setting up an event at the store to showcase the talents of our younger musicians in town, so if you know any kiddos who sing or play an instrument, let me know.  There are a lot of new arrivals at the store and a really cool thing  coming around March of next year that the store is involved in that I am super exited about… details to follow!!  Everyone be sure to keep checking our website and Facebook page, There is now a “Lunchtime Joke of the Day” posted on Facebook daily. Never hurts to laugh a little, right??  Remember to be safe, have fun and enjoy the rest of your summer, and play music!!!   Kenny
