A LOOK BACK AT 2020
2020 was an EXTREMELY bad year for the music industry. Not only did the Covid 19 Pandemic take many lives, it also ruined many live venues. Most, if not all, were cancelled or postponed, for some uncertain time in the future. Hopefully these venues will still remain after we get back to somewhat "normal" operation. Only God knows.
We lost many GREAT musicians, and sound engineers starting with Neil Peart in January, Paul Chapman, Pete Way, Martin Birch, Eddie Van Halen, and sadly, Leslie West.
The Entertainment business looks bleak. But, perhaps better times are ahead.
2021 AND A LOOK AHEAD
2021 started out bleak. Many people died from the pandemic, and our country was divided politically. The music business is just starting to rebound. It seems the one good side of the Covid crisis is alot of people are spending more time at home with their families listening to stereo systems they had forgotten about for years. We've been able to bring alot of those vintage speakers back to life, by refoaming or reconing, much to the enjoyment of many! We don't repair receivers, amplifiers or turn tables. We are STILL open by appointment only.
July 26th,2023 I lost my band mate, best friend and co worker, Jim Dodds. Jim played drums in my band "PYRE" in the early 80's, then worked many shows with me in the 90's and early 2000's, as stage hand, crew chief, and lighting designer. Many who came to my shop knew Jim. R.I.P. Jimmy
UPDATE 2024
I'm advising a good friend of mine of many years, ALLEN LEVINE, of Pittsburgh Sports line" fame, and "The Talking Machine" show, who can be found on YouTube, and on BPTV, on his new MMA company COLISEUM COMBAT ZONE (CCZ) which will do it's first event in the fall of 2024...! Stay tuned for a date. Event will be held at All American Field House in Monroeville,Pa. There's A New Way, in MMA..!!
SEPTEMBER 2024
After advising on the MMA Show, last week, I've decided NOT to do anything more shows,or events,that involve the PA. STATE ATHLETIC COMMISION. Due to their HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL WAY of doing business, I won't be working any shows that involve them. At this point, I've decided to just advise on concerts, shows, and movies.
NOVEMBER 2024
JESSICA LEE, will be bringing her "WISDOM OF THE BLUES" show to the Incredibly Beautiful Shriners Center in Cheswick, Pa. This is an amazing venue to see shows..!
