I don't know why everyone says NAMM is "industry" only. Have you seen some
of the people that come in there? I've been going for (...too long) and I
see teenagers, kids, groupie wannabes, etc that don't seemingly have
anything to do with the buying and selling of music products. (in the
business sense) There are lots of "consumers" that find their way into the
show, and frankly, they are the one's that keep it interesting. (wow, did
you see that...)
