As the song progressed, It fused into a very heavy hard metal sound.…

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the most effective position and mass of a wolf tone eliminator for effectively suppressing the wolf so that it was undetectable to the human ear and, hopefully, completely suppressed.

I do not know who decided to paint the building violet, but I owe them a debt of gratitude too large to pay back in one lifetime for sparking a lifelong passion inside me. As we drove by, I peered out the window and felt immediately attracted to the structure. My eyes moved upwards to find the sign which read Bluefish Music, then down to the guitars lined up along the walls. “I didn’t know there was a guitar shop here”, I pondered. My mother projected her voice so that it would reach the back…
