Cathy, I lived in the Boston area in the late 1970s. I used to enjoy hearing your dad's radio ads for The Music Box on WCRB and once visited the store, although as a broke college student, I couldn't afford anything. I seem to recall one of his ads mentioned cheap audio equipment, which he described as "burger-fi". Great memories!

I just stumbled upon this post. My grandfather, Nelson Bell, started the Music Box in the '30's, and my father, Bill Bell, took over and ran it until he closed shop in appx 1995. Back in the day, on one of his trips to Mass to visit with my dad, PWK flew up from Hope, Arkansas, in his lovely little Beech Bonanza. I was about 10, and Mr Klipsch took me for a ride and got me hooked on flying. Between me and my brothers, we have some Music Box memorabilia and memories that might interest you. Feel free to contact me.
