Music stores in Kansas City?

[uglycicles]

Well, I'm visiting my wife's family in Kansas City for Thanksgiving. I've been before, but haven't had too much of an opportunity to explore music stores.

I remember going to Lawrence a few years back - there was a pretty cool shop on the main drag that had a lot of vintage gear.

I'll be in the Overland Park, KS area, but all over the area during my stay. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Another recommendation-

I saw a guy last night you might want to check out. Forrest Stewart--plays jazz on electric with (singer) Ida McBeth.
At the Blue Room at 18th & Vine on Friday, the 26th.
