Thanks, folks...there is no GC in this area, so I didn't know how to advise my client/friends.

Sadly, it looks like, without Carl, the best thing to advise is to close the doors. Carl had been my friend/business partner/instrument supplier since he started the store in 1963. I bought my first equipment (60 Strat and 59 Bassman-still have them) when he was an employee of the store he eventually owned.I was in Junior High.

Suspect that George Kaye is a lot like Carl was in terms of customer service, knowledge of customers needs and drive. Carl was also a touring big band trumpet player before he came off the road and settled down

that's hard to find, these days. andthat's why I plan on being a Geroge Kaye customer.
