I&#8217;m not sure if this statement on their storefront window is true, but I found it appealing nonetheless.   I walked in with cheery confidence and bought a groovin&#8217; t-shirt which has indeed made me like myself more.  Fortunately, there were no guitar stores on this street or I might have fallen into a narcissistic coma.<br />
