Thank you sir, may I have another? I think we can all agree that 2020 has been a truly horrible year. COVID, shutdowns, quarantines and fear made for a year we’d all like to forget. Let’s hope 2021 erases all those bad memories!

Sadly, we lost some truly great musicians and music industry legends in 2020…Eddie Van Halen had to be the hugest loss this year, but we shouldn’t forget Neil Peart (Rush), Andy Gill (Gang of Four), Kenny Rogers (yes, cheesy, but give the First Edition stuff a listen), Bill Withers, Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne, my hero), John Prine, Florian Schneider (Kraftwerk), Little Richard Penniman (“A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop, A-lop-bam-boom!”), Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), Trini Lopez, Justin Townes Earle and Spencer Davis…just to name a few.

On a personal level, I lost my Mom in May, spent most of the summer cleaning out and working on her house three hours away, had my gallbladder out in August and dealt with a few surgery complications in September & October.

We will be closed December 24-27, 2020 for Christmas and December 31, 2020-January 1, 2021 for New Year’s. Orders placed during these times will be processed once we re-open. Email received during that time will be answered ASAP.

This year, more than ever, I wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
