industry . And the music educators are our key partners and allies in this quest . So , I ’ m really excited about Million More in April , probably one of the things I ’ m most excited about .
CMT : Any closing comments for our readers ?
Lammond : What I would close with if I was thinking about the show in general , it would be that the marketplace is moving quickly . And the role we all have , and I think for your readers , people who work in the stores , and people working in a factory or own the factories , or on the road as reps — the crossover between them being an artist or being in a recording studio . This industry is very unique . And there are very few places where all of it comes together on this kind of crossroads platform , which I call NAMM . You know , it ’ s literally the crossroads of the global industry . Where else would you see Cosmo Music , and also all the engineers from Abbey Road Studios ? There ’ s no place where you ’ ll see the entire industry , all under one roof . And to me , the magic is what happens when you put the whole industry under one roof . It ’ s hard to explain — it ’ s hard to describe . It ’ s a recipe that is very complex , but it works . And that ’ s the NAMM show .
