You saw her for years frontin' the Ronnie Renfrow Big Band. You've seen her smokin' blues group. Now see Gloria Edwards Mills in her latest role, music store owner! Here's her lastest update:

Hi, Gang;

Well, Monday will be official opening date for the The Music Shoppe. We decided not to put anything in reference to the blues in the name of the store. We have 1,000's of videos of all kind (smile). The previous owner had a video rental store. We aren't sure that we will continue to rent.

Next week, will be the opening week and we will sell many of the videos on file, including all of the Adults. I do not want that kind of material around the kids. The room which is the adult viewing room will be a listening room and we will have players as well as a TV for viewing music videos.

The location is 1375 W. Gulf Bank in the shopping strip on the corner of West Gulf Bank and Veterans Memorial.

We will have CD's, Cassettes, music videos, Karoake CD's and cassettes, music supplies, guitar strings, bass, reeds, oil, harmonicas and paper supplies, including fake books, manuscript paper, composition books, etc.

Later we will have classes on Saturday for students and I will need help! I believe that this will be a great venue to feature local musicians music and they receive payment for their efforts and talent.

The hours will be
11:00 AM until 7:00 PM, Monday thru Thursday
11:00 AM until 8:00 PM Friday and Saturday
01:00 PM until 6:00 PM Sundays.

We plan to have a live remote from the Music Shoppe on 101.3(?) next Saturday. I hope that we will have a good turn out of Musicians. Maybe we can have a live jam! Wow! I will give you more info later.

I am thankful to God, my daughter, Fatiyah and my son-in-law Kerry Douglas for this blessing.

If you want to talk to me today call The Music Shoppe, 281-272-9393.

Gloria Edwards Mills

P.S. Please also let everyone know that they may exhibit some of their own music at the Shoppe. We have not finished putting in all of the stands, etc, but, as soon as we do, I will have an area for local recordings and videos! We can work out some type of contract giving us the license to sell their product.
