Trade Regrets: Harold Burt
September 2, 2012
Harold Burt passed away on September 19th at the age of 88.
Following a career as a band director, Burt purchased Poole Music in 1979, which he renamed Burt Music and moved to Cary, N.C. Though the store closed when he reached the age of 86, Harold continued teaching music lessons from out of his home, just as he had for over six decades – and which he continued to do through the final week of his life.
