OK NAMM which stand for National Association of Music Merchants and it’s the biggest trade show in the world. Founded in 1901, NAMM has a mission to “strengthen the music products industry and promote the pleasures and benefits of making music.” We love to go and sometimes we don’t even have any reason to go– we just want to walk around with a zillion other weirdos like us and feel like we aren’t crazy for pursuing a life of late nights in bars, endless new learning curves, and never quite enough fame or money. Or gear. But that doesn’t matter. We love it. We live it. We breathe it. We are all one big strange family and we make the world sing…”
