Have you seen the latest updates to Seymore's website. Can he pick the models or what. Does she come with the purchase of those products? She is an eye catcher Bobbe and so is the rest of your site.

Thanks for being there.

Well, enjoy it while it's here. We will be going to a pure business type format in the near future as a few folks were offended by my new office manigers appearance. Personally, I see nothing to be offended by.Brandy is as sweet and wonderful as a person can be and is as cheerful as you could ever belive also, but some folks don't care about any thing but the product.The hard cold bottom line,where is it,when can you get it to me and how big a discount can I get. I always took pride in the personal touch however it looks like we need to go to a more business type format.I just hated that "automatic "type, no soul type deal, but I 'spose I'll have to change with the times.When was the last time you called your internet provider or the phone co. and got put on hold for 30 min.and then had to listen to your options and push the number for the option you wanted then had to wait for another 30 min. for a live person to treat you like a idiot. Seem like some folks would like this rather that my personal,buddy,good friend treatment that I try to give. Let me hear your opinions, I'm here for you guys and gals only, I'll do what you want.Yes I just got a complaint about my web-page,not business enough!
Bobbe,

Bobbe: If you loose her, me and Frank is comin' up there to help you register into a nursing home !! You have always used this format and I for one think it is entirely appropriate. Anyone who doesn't is entitled to their opinions just as I am. But I'm voting for your regular format and Sheila backs me up 100%. I'm always for moderation and I don't like what's going on in other musical genres but then too, I've never played in a convent either !!

Best Regards, Paul

Go auto, and "business like" with # options on the phone, and 20-30 minute waits you might as well pack up now. Even in the 21st century there are still a heck of a lot of people that like the personal service, like, ask a question - get an honest answer, rather than a machine spouting a load of possibilities that bear little if any relation to the question you asked in the first place.
Cheers
Dave.

My guess is that some think Brandy looks out of place on a pak-a-seat. Gosh, guys you don't have to feel pressured into buying anything if you're just "window shopping".

JC Penney underwear ads are more revealing. I'm not suggesting that the site be more revealing, just saying it's no big deal; though I did check every page just to make sure.

Bobbe, do you think ANYBODY would watch "THE PRICE IS RIGHT" if they didn't have them models? It's like you can't have a car without wheels (I don't know where that metophor came from, but oh well).

Leave the babe in there. Include a photo of her with each guitar you sell and you won't be able to keep them on the floor.

Bobbe, here's a quote from Bill Cosby that I always liked...

Bobbe,
DON'T CHANGE A THING (I think all caps is considered shouting...good!). I'm too old to get excited about Brandy, but she sure knows how to get your attention. So do you!!
I hope you, and others, understand what it means to have the phone answered by you or the fact you get right on the line if asked for. That's worth a whole lot more than someones narrow view of what should be on your site and in your business.

Hey Bobbe, speaking from a female standpoint I like the site. Brandy adds class. Leave it like it is.

Bobbe, Doggonnit! Leave things as they are. That's one of the many reasons I check out your site. No matter what you do, people will b####h. So, it is your company do what you want. Nobody tells the other big companies what to do. How do you suppose they got that way? Next thing you know, some old lady will want you in the ad. Now that could be scary. Especially if you are in a skirt!

Bobbe, the ONLY thing you should do is update your site more often. I found nothing offensive with Brandy's photos.

Look what I started!!!!!!!! HEHE, Bobbe the two things I enjoy the most about your site is the updates to the guitars and the models you use to advertise your products. Not necessarily in that order. You have always had lookers on your website so please don't take that away. I don't know about the other guys but it keeps me coming back and then I remember why hell I need this or that so why I'm here.

You know the rest. You Alaskan pal

Bobbe, You've got it all wrong. Take a step backwards and look at your website again. It's your mug that's offensive. Poor Brandy.

...Craig, you must have been reading my mind...if they think they've been offended now, put Bobbe in a short dress and let him show off the merchandise...

...no kidding, great site Bobbe, don't change a thing..

...I've got the answer Bobbe!! You have two versions of the web-site, and the home page will have an option for anybody to pick version 1 or version 2 when they go into your website, the choice will be their own...

...version 1 will be for us reprobates that like Brandy to show off the merchandise, and version 2 will be for those more circumspect customers who just want to get down to business by having Janet Reno showing off the merchandise...

(Bill, you must have pressed the "submit" button a millisecond before I did with the same thought in mind!)

Bobbe,

There is little enough soul and individuality around as it is.

Don't be intimidated by a few sour apples.

She can't help it if she's attractive, happens to work for you, and the camera likes her...

Shucks, you could have used that old picture of Esmarelda Dingleberry that we all used to pass around in High School, you know the one... she had the adam's apple from hell and a nose to slalom race down. Bless her heart, I know she would have been happy to help you out.

Don't you dare change a thing! It looks great, and is even more professional than your old one. Where are those cams we talked about?
