Good stores in LA

Bongofury: Nice!

Marty: No need for any other ideas. (My favorite McCabe's show: Liz Phair and her band in 1994, with Beck as the opening act, singing without any instrumental accompaniment.)

Bongo,

I do agree with your assessments on dealers 1,3,4 and 5. I do have to stick up for Brooks Berdan. They have always went out of there way to help me and even ordered Items for me without asking for money up front.

Nil and Jim: Hey, it reminds me of the Neil Young song "Piece of Crap." :)

Digital Ear guys have been really easy to deal with over the years and they have some top notch gear. They work with you on trade ins and such as well.

If you want some 'culture', and are in SanDiego, the place to go is Balboa Park. There on EVERY Sunday of the year, is a 1 hour Organ Recital at what may be the ONLY remaining outdoor, municipal pipe organ in the world. Played by SanDiego's Municipal Organist, Carol Williams, it is an amazing auditory experience. Catch it on a cool, rainy winter day for best sound.......dress warm.
