Video Story by Matt Stilton | Forward by Barb Dye: I can’t believe this but it’s been 40 years since Bob Rupp opened up his drum shop in east Denver off Holly Street. I went over there all the time to check out the drums and just to hang out. A few years ago, after Bob had moved the shop to a near-by location, Bob sold it and then after that owner decided to sell, Alex Simpson purchased it! This video is a short bio (10:51 long) of the store and its owners. You’ll really enjoy it – even if you aren’t a drummer!
