The Stones and The Yardbirds were new bands on the scene, and the Beatles were number one in Britain and were taking America by storm. Everybody wanted to join the band, and many did. While in college, Don Miller and some friends started a band for fun, playing mostly Motown and 50's music, but soon became a campus hit. Soon booking agents found out about this new band, called the "Weejuns", and began booking them around the region. By now the group was starting to play a new type of music that would soon be known as Beach Music.
In 1968, Don and family built the
first Don's Music City in Burlington N.C., with their own hands! This
was the one of the first real "Music Combo" stores in the Carolinas
region to carry all types of instruments and equipment, as well as all
major brands. During the next 20 years, they sold and rented
instruments to the likes of Chet Atkins, Elvis Presley, Pat Matheney,
and countless other legends who were performing in the region at the
time. During this time, Don's Music City was becoming one of the
biggest dealers in the south. They soon opened a second location in
nearby Greensboro N.C.. Years later they opened a 3rd location on the north side of Greensboro and more recently a 4th location in Danville
