Manny's - My Musical Home

Keeping this short will be hard...



My first trip to Manny's was back in 1976. I waited at the counter forever, but nobody paid me any attention. I was working with Harry Belafonte at the time and told the other guitarist Scott Kuney about what had happened. Back we went to the store.

Guitar bought at Manny's played on Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue" by author Kevin Odegard

Dear Henry,

Here is the Martin D-28 you hand-picked for me in 1969. It was a

lucky choice and I keep it in perfect condition. Millions of Bob

Dylan fans hear this guitar on the opening notes of "Tangled Up In

Blue." Thank you for personally helping me pick out this instrument

-- I came all the way from Minnesota to buy it especially from you.



Peace,

Kevin Odegard

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
