Re: Music Song Lyrics Musician Makes Mention of Hoodoo

Cat have you all considered starting a Twitter feed for the shop? It's
a quick easy way to send out news blurbs about the shop, new items in
stock, etc. Setting up an account takes less than a minute too.

All you other shop owners might consider too.
