Most store now don't carry much anymore and not worth the visit for the pro KB player.

Rondo's was my second home away from home now that feeling of having good friends almost like family these days is lost, you just walk into any big music store chain and if they feel that you are seriously considering buying they will help or else they move on, I can't say I blame them because it's all about the numbers from here on.

"This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions. "

Thinking about another tread at GenArr just now ......

Weird... here in the litigious USA, there is no restriction on this. Go figure.

Try a Google search for it (there are several different videos). Possibly it is up from another source.

Mind you, when you look at the Iranian government's attempts to shut down legitimate protest over the Internet, this doesn't seem as urgent anymore!

Rondo Music is still around but now they are just an Internet store selling mainly guitars. Their Internet sales became the main income so they decided to shut the doors on the brick and mortar store in NJ.

I love all those great deli's you guys have been talking about. I hit at least one every time I come to the city. I must say if the ever close Colony Music, I'll be in mourning for a long time.

Joe, Colony Music on 49th & Broadway in Times Square is the ultimate music store......in the lobby of the Historic Brill Building with so many historical music memories, I've been there many many times.. we had a studio apartment around the corner on 48th street.
