I'd like my childhood back, please (or at least one to rent for awhile)

Sprout's watching Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas (early jim henson film, sort of a riff on "Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry).

Now I saw this 4-5 times when I was a kid, and remember liking it quite a bit (although the Bad Bear scared me).

Now, all I can think is "How the frick does this podunk town, where everything seems to be based on barter and a $50 contest prize is viewed with absolute disbelief, support a big guitar store?"

_{Why must I analyze everything?}
