Money Matters: A musical investment

Casey Henry wrote in to tell us about an interesting radio show she heard. She listened while driving, then found it online and sent us a link. It’s from a radio show call Marketplace Money and the episode is Money Matters: A musical investment. The show is concerned with instruments as an investment, and accordingly they interview George Gruhn. The online version is in Real Player format.
