sad news
Thursday, June 9, 2005 at 08:44AM
I just got an e-mail with some very sad news. Broadway Music, my favorite music store here in Nashville, is closing in two weeks. If you've ever been then you know, it's like a graveyard for old, cool gear, (and for old, crappy gear, too, but whatever...) The best part about this place is that it's always teeming with people like me. After living here for eight years, Nashville has become my home, and it's a city that seems to grow smaller and smaller. For a part of our community, Broadway is our Cheers, people know your name, they know who you are and what you play. I've sold and bought a number of guitars there, bought my first amp there, an old Fender Deluxe that got stolen a few years later. Man, I'm going to miss that place. Their website is on my gear links if you want to look around. If that red Fender amp is still there I might have to work some budget magic before the 22nd.

Headed to Nashville next week for Belmont orientation; so in addition to La Hacienda, I guess I need to make a visit to Broadway
mmmm....La Hacienda
My old man works down the street from there, and I used to love going in there to look at stuff... never bought, but man, what a great store.
I thought you typed "gravyard".
Nevermind. Different topic.
This is indeed sad news!
Is there anything to do that will keep it open? I'm a little confused on why it is closing?
