The new owners of Ketron Distribution here in the USA said they would not have a booth this year because of their just taking over and moving into a new location in New York. When I heard this I called the new owner and explained to him that this was not a good sign to the industry if there is no showing at a large Winter NAMM show. His response was that he would be there to introduce himself to the music dealers and to have his brochures available. Still I said this isn't a good idea. When a company doesn't show, it could signify trouble with the company. I hope he is giving my comments some thought and consideration. I understand the time restraints caused by a new start up and building just weeks before the show but this part of the transition is important.
