With the closure 3.5-years ago of Dale Music, classical musicians in the DMV are left with one obvious choice: Foxes Music in Downtown Falls Church. For me, it was always an easy choice: I grew up and lived in Maryland for the first part of my life, and always went to Dale Music in Silver Spring. Since I moved to Virginia over 25-years ago, I've gone to Foxes Music - they have been virtually interchangeable for me in terms of sheet music, and when Matt switched from piano to clarinet, he always got his reeds at Foxes. I can really only vouch for their sheet music selection, but I don't think I've ever needed something that they don't have in stock; if they don't, they'll be able to order it to arrive in about a week. Their selection of sheet music is terrific, and I've never gone to another music store in the area, other than Dale or Foxes. I miss Dale, and because of the internet, I admit that I fear for the long-term survival of Foxes as well. Don Rockwell-

I was going to write this as a "toast" in this thread, but it wouldn't be enough. To David and Rhoda Burchuk - may they always be remembered for founding this magnificent beacon of light in 1950. To Carol Warden - for accepting the baton, and carrying it for as long as she could. To Dale Music - one of two great DC institutions when it comes to buying sheet music (Foxes in Falls Church being the other). Dale Music is shutting its doors for the final time on June 30th - Carol Warden has sold the building, and is going to retire. It was the rare exception when you needed a score on short notice, and Dale didn't have it in stock; the few times that it did happen to me (with obscure pieces, or unusual editions), they ordered it, and it arrived within days. The great Dale Music should be thought of in the same vein as Politics and Prose, or Frager's Hardware. And another piece of my childhood is gone forever. Don Rockwell --- ETA - And so it goes: Goodbye, Dale Music.
