Candyman Strings & Things Nabs Dealer
of the Year
Rand and Cindy Cook, owners of Candyman Strings & Things in Santa Fe, New Mexico, accepted the Dealer of the Year award on July 18 at Summer NAMM’s Top 100 Dealer Awards.

They also took home the Music Makes a Difference award for their story about how music has played a part in the physical and emotional healing one of their teenage customers and interns.

“We’re just so very lucky to be in the business we are in,” Rand Cook said. “Every six months we head to a NAMM Show and get lifted up by our peers. There’s just nothing like our industry, and we have a great time doing it.”

“We look to the Dealer of the Year and Top 100 Award winners as a source of inspiration for our industry,” said Joe Lamond, NAMM’s president and CEO.
