Dropping by Manny's was always a special treat! Just meeting all the guys working there, as well as so many musicians I worked with, was like coming home every time!

There will never be another music store meeting place like Manny's. It was…

I walked into Manny's for the first time in 1959. I bought a WFL White Marine Pearl 4 piece set and still use it to this day!

The feeling at Manny's was like coming home to your own family! Everyone there knew you as well as everyone displayed… Continue

memories from (my uncle) Steve Chapin
Ah yes. . . Henry. Always a hot experience for me at Manny's.It was there in the 70's (Harry with albums and Tom on tv with Make a Wish), that he referenced me as the "no-talent Chapin" one occasion while Tom and I were shopping there - it was actually very funny at the time, a Rodney Dangerfield moment.
