It was the first retail store of any kind to play videos (as documented by Billboard magazine in 1978). In the days before MTV, Dingleberry's aired music videos made on Betamax tape and projected upon the huge (even by today's standards) screen mounted on the wall. The store was again credited in Billboard magazine in 1979 for putting on the Dinglejam, which was an in-store concert in which all the musicians and technical crew were employees of the store. Over the years, Greg and the store have won numerous advertising awards and Best of Dayton reader polls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe store has been visited by many many bands and artists, sometimes for autograph signings and sometimes just to shop.
