"There is nothing else quite like it."

That is what customers say about a Silver Spring music store that is closing for good after being in business for well over half a century.

At Dale Music, they have reached the final verse of a long and lovely tune.

"Oh, I think it's the best music store that I've ever known of," said one customer at the store's final day.

"I've never seen so many customers in the store," said owner Carol Warden.

Warden's parents opened the store on Georgia Avenue in 1950. There have been lots of memorable customers and even a few future celebrities.

"Goldie Hawn used to come in," Warden told us. "Her father came in. She bought a show score for her high school musical and she didn't get the part. She wanted to come in and return it."

Did she get her money back?

"I don't remember. My mother handled her," she said laughingly.
