I went into the store on my own and got the pickup, but when I presented the company check at the register, Henry said, "What's… Continue

You always felt like you were "Home" when you walk through the door at Manny's!!
I arrived at Manny's in NYC in 1959 and bought my first real drumset, a white marine pearl 1958 WFL 4 piece 10 ply maple shell set . It's still my favorite drum set to play on and everyone loves the way it sounds even to this day!! Manny, Danny and all the other wonderful folks behind the various counters always made me feel welcome. They were always pointing out all the… Continue

memories from (my uncle) Steve Chapin
Ah yes. . . Henry.

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
