Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Lancaster Music Company. Since Lancaster Music opened its doors in 1949, the family-owned business rooted in Gainesville, Georgia, has grown exponentially. Currently, the company is managed by a third-generation Lancaster, Mrs. Emily Lancaster Barron, who loves music and working in the family business that is owned by Emily's father, Joey Lancaster. Fun fact: In the early 2000s, Lancaster Music Company forged a relationship with the Bush administration, supplying pianos to the White House for its Christmas decor. The business went on to provide a new grand piano for the chapel at Camp David, which was custom-made in oak to match the interior during the Bush administration. Lancaster Music Company's pianos have been at Camp David now for the past four administrations. The Lancaster family's commitment to filling our community events, our churches, and our lives with music is noteworthy. I am truly honored to represent such an outstanding family-owned business that has provided pianos, guitars, trumpets, violins, and more to the Ninth District, the Peach State, and the country. I congratulate Lancaster Music Company on 75 strong and successful years. May they have many more to come. ____________________
