Hey there, Steve…
I’m from Long Island also (Seaford) and couldn’t stop laughing when, as I was looking through your online “vault” of guitars, I saw that you purchased your sticker Strat at Matthew’s Music in Roosevelt Field! I LOVED that store and bought a ton of gear there (along with Sam Ash on Front St. in Hempstead and Focus II in Bellmore). Just seeing that remark brought back a flood of memories and how sad I was when the place went under (the old 20% to 40% to 50% discounts didn’t clue me in until it was too late) and stuff that I’ve gotten rid of from there (except my Boss pedals – they stay FOREVER!). Too bad the field has become an “upscale” mall, with the giant food court and getting rid of the “unapproved of” establishments like the arcade and the News Rack. Ah well…just for that, the Boss pedals are coming with me when I go to the studio tonight…
later bro…
