Sandi Bachom from Michael Gladstone about his "Schlepper" shirt

Hi Sandi, It makes me smile the way I felt when Henry gave me my first "Schlepper" shirt. I have to laugh when I notice people speaking about "Abruptness" at Manny's. Being Jewish and from New York I guess I understood it better than most. I begged for every "Schlepper" shirt I ever got. I might have been an important Road Manager in my head but to Henry I was just a Schlepper, basically a putz with the good luck to be in the Music Business. He always treated me like a Nephew that he could not r… Continue

Sandi Bachom Mute from Manny's Forsythe Street Store

Hi, Ian, and many thanks. Yes, of course this would be way back before both our times. But I just thought you'd have heard about the store, being in the family. Attached is a photo of a mute I own that has a Manny's store sticker to verify the Forsyth Street store. This is so strange! how no one remembers… Continue

Tad Manny's 1976

When my folks divorced my mom started going with this guy who claimed to have played bass with Jay and the Americans - he turned out to be a real louse but that's another story. We were living in Kennebunkport Maine when he decided we should all go down to New York for the weekend. This trip included a trip to Manny's. I remember standing there bug-eyed, staring at Hendrix's signed photo. A couple years later after a lot of begging and pleading I was told I could get 2 new top of the line Sonor… Continue

Mitch Weissman My first guitar and amp...

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 brain said… Continue

Carolyne Mas 1960's IMPERIAL ACCORDION ~ MINT!!! $325 SACRIFICE!!!

I bought this beautiful accordion from someone who had found it in their Grandfather's closet for $500 in 2007. It has remained in its plush case since I bought it. I was collecting instruments as I thought I might build a home recording studio. I have since had to sell everything related to the studio, and just realized that I still had this. I don't know much about accordions, except to say that this one is immaculate, and the straps and bellows are in excellent condition, which is rare in… Continue

Marcus Colasurdo white hibiscus poem

City Sidewalk garden July Hibiscus opening wide on high ivory as morning crosses over to noon. Perfect lacy circles drinking the heat- big as LP's- summer's white albums just released, bearing drops of blood red at their stylus centers. These flowers, they paly elephant music on the pollination station- special frequencies for the young bees to dance, dance, dance the afternoon away and draw out the shy sun from behind the storm clouds.

Marcus Colasurdo Poetry in a time of confusion

Carolyne Mas So Many Memories...

The funniest memory (in retrospect) I have of Manny's is from September of 1976. I was living in Levittown, NY at the time, and I used to hitchhike into the city with my guitar all the time to play. I had no fear, and today you'd think even less sense, but this was a legitimate form of transportation in those days!. One night I got lucky though, and my friend Stevie Cochran arranged for me to ride into the city with his friend Brian. On the way downtown to the village, which is where I liked to… Continue

Hi Martyn, thank you for your wonderful memories. How did you find the wall? I was showing somebody the videos today of Tim Robbins and Paul Simon and it made me sad that it's gone forever, I so glad it's here at least. Sandi

Hi ,visited Manny's many times when I was in NYC(worked on the QE2-1982-86) As a young guy,I was mesmerized by all the photos of my 'hero's',all the instruments, & the thought that there could be famous people in the store at the same time as me.....
