My first guitar and amp...
Posted on August 24, 2009 at 2:30am 0 Comments 0 Likes
It was in 1967 that my dad said to me "It's time to get you a good guitar." He was the local counsel for Musicians Union Local 802 in Manhattan and of course, they said to him "Take your boy to Manny's!" So, off we went.
The first thing you noticed were the photo's of every damn musical act imaginable. I spent many days looking at those walls over the years. The second thing I noticed was that standing 10 feet across the room was Garth Hudson from The Band. "Holy Crap!" my 13 year old… 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. But for the next two decades, every time I would drop $5K a pop for PA equipment, TEAC recorders, ADAT machines, Mackie boards, outboard gear,…See More

Hey Mitch,
Always great to hear from you. Been way too long.
Have amazing recollections hanging with you and BC.
Pix and video. Would love to talk.
Peace, love and safe travels.

Mitch!!!
How've you been? It sure has been a while. I hope you are healthy and happy and rocking along.
Me? I moved out of the city around 2001 and I'm living on the beach in Long Island with my sweetheart Charles who is a genious architect, and I love it! We got married in 2004 and have a beautiful 2 year old son.
I'm good, although I've been fighting some health problems the past year or so but I'm doing really well and expect to make a full recovery.
I do miss being in the city in so many ways and I miss so many people and so many of my old friends. I have thought of you often and hope you are happy and healthy.
