| The seed of an idea... |

| Although it's wonderful to not have to trudge off to the salt mines, I know eventually I'll tire of this.
(Really, I will.)
I've been batting some business ideas around for the future.
My background is rental as you know, my hobby is music. Although a drum shop would be fun in some ways, I'm not interested in chaining myself to a retail establishment. I want a business that Myself and one employee could run.
The business I'm considering is backline rental. I have have some knowledge of amplifiers, PA, keyboards, and obviously drums. I'm definitely a gearhead and I could have some fun with this. It's something that I could stock up slowly before I officially got into business. I have good contacts in shops to do the purchasing and I am handy enough that I feel I could learn the repair end.
Pittsburgh has a decent amount of acts coming through town that need the service. I'm familiar with the competiton in place, I think there is an opening.
I have plenty going on right now, this is something that would be a couple of years off.
So, your thoughts?

| Yes, promoting it and developing contacts would be a major key.
You guys know how shy I am.

| Yes Lee, I'm thinking of renting the higher end stuff.
On the drum side,
DW Collectors, DW Jazz, Yamaha Maple Custom Absolutes, Yamaha Recording Customs, Gretsch USA Customs, Pearl Masters, Ludwig Legacys, etc.
Pretty much the stuff other guys wouldn't carry. I'd go in the same direction with guitar amps, bass amps and keyboards.
