The April-May edition is now online!
Quality music has been coming in at an astounding rate recently; we can't remember a period in which so many top notch titles have been made available to our customers.
Congratulations to Jeff Beck for his recent Grammy® Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance for "Plan B", off his CD "Jeff".
Don't forget about our Mike Chlasciak promotion, order any of his three CDs and get a free pack of Dean Markley strings, while supplies last.
Another amazing group of guest columnists have contributed articles for April. We've got ten altogether - seven returning columnists and three first-time columnists.
