I'm a long-time professional lead guitarist-vocalist who played full-time in the 70's and early…read more80's, ending up in Toronto working through agents. As a non-smoker, non-drinker, I remember those decades, and what a music store meant for musicians. I became good friends with Al, the father and original owner of Thorold Music. It's not the same today, technology and the economy taking society away from live bands, but I see Thorold Music as finding a nice balance to keep the love alive, enough to make me leave my home town of Welland to make it there. I also respect Leo, one of Als' sons who manages the store, as a keyboard player, and every employee there has shown a mature and talented ability on guitar. I wouldn't necessarily say "Woohoo! As good as it gets!", because when I'm not there the light of Jimi Hendrix, who I saw in Toronto, doesn't shine as bright... and... sometimes it takes a lefty to show you the left-handed world. The new millennium is in my brain, lately these signals, they don't feel the same. It's not very funny, the music that people want to buy, 'scuse me, while I diss these skies. Thank you again, Leo, Conrad and staff at Thorold Music, for your kind and generous treatment. as always, John Watt
