Once upon a time in a land far up north, a few questionable characters got together and started a weird business of packing a bunch of stray wood parts into a box and calling it a musical instrument kit (har, har). Think about it. Is there any less likely sort of enterprise you could think up? They must have been totally crazy.

And then came the worldwide Recession that shook up Wall Street, toppled international investment firms & insurance companies, and crippled the auto industry, but who ends up staying in business? That’s right, this unlikely group. And that’s without any bailout money! Sounds fishy enough to be a racket, doesn’t it? Maybe a front for a drug operation or something.

Anyway, they sure put on a good face in front of a camera, don’t they? Some would say that’s all that counts these days, just like politics. But let’s not bring that up. Give these people a call (or an email) sometime and see how they treat you. Then you’ll learn what’s behind all those smiles. Hey, maybe they’re not so crazy after all....
