Naperville, IL (May 1, 2008) - We checked out a few music stores while we were On Location in the Chicago area. One of them was Naperville Music, a cool little shop with a local vibe and quite a history -- 34 years, in fact. We were immediately drawn to the high-end selection, which included Don Grosh, New Orleans and McNaught guitars.

Naperville Music''s Mark Gardner chatted with us about the shop.
