It's not quite like the good 'ol days, Genny Haley's dad said, "you could go to the local drugstore and for a penny, get a cigarette or a reefer!" The drugs have gotten pretty pricey, and cigarettes a bad rep, but in Gaulala we're up to date with one stop shopping, for those things that really matter! (they don't sell oxycontin there though)
I now have a one day week music store, Saturdays in Gualala! (The pharmacy is completely closed Sundays, and Saturdays they don't fill prescriptions, but at least the instruments are there even if I'm not!) Thanks to Jack, the owner, whose instrument collection I've been repairing and setting up, I'm back in business! I may be semi-retired, but I'm not completely out of it (maybe only slightly deranged).
I'm now hosting an acoustic jam session as well on Saturdays, and I bring a table full of accessories and set it up then too. I also take in (and do simple) repairs and adjustments, taking more elaborate repairs home to do, usually done by the following Saturday.
What Laurence White, The Thinman, ex-owner of Thinmanmusic, is probably up to no good if you know him as I do!
