My Love Affair . . . With Music Stores

Valentine Heart From Bloom DoveAside from my wife, Bloom The Dove (Daughter(Valentine from her -> )) and Little Dove (Son), there are few things I like more than a great music store. For Valentines day, I wanted to talk about a few music stores which are special to me. They are all special for different reasons. In this post, I share intimate details of my relationships with the music stores in my life.
  • Hobgoblin I will never forget a trip we took to London, England. Among other things, I spent three hours in this music store, and eventually purchased my Button Box. This is a Happy Happy place.
  • Long & McQuade When I was a kid, my dad took me to Toronto, and we bought the first musical instrument that I could call my own (a Trombone). He had a guitar, and we had a piano, but this trombone was mine. I don't remember where we bought it (I was a kid). I like to pretend we got it at Long & McQuade.
  • Belle Air Music When I was in the Mustang Marching Band at The University of Western Ontario , this music store became special to me. However, it wasn't until I bought my Rocket from this very store, that I fell in lust.

    Well, now I have confessed. There are music stores in my dreams from time to time.

    You should also try Scarborough Music at Victoria Park & Kingston Road. That's where my Harmony Rocket came from. I used to walk by that store every day on the way to high school. A very happy place.
