I live right by there in Weirton and have done a lot of business with them. The owners dad, Kurt was the man. I played this beat up Mexican strat and fell in love with it. He had a tag for $150 on it and I brought a more expensive Ibamez RG in that I just hated and asked if he'd just trade and call it even. He told me to take it home and keep the RG and pay him when I could. It took me a couple of months, but I still love that guitar and that guy was one of the kindest souls you'd ever meet. His boy you talked with, whose name always escapes me though I've met him a hundred times, is a TREMENDOUSLY talented guitarist. I unfortunately have lost some guitars I didn't want to part with , but they always tried to help and be as flexible as you can expect a business to be. I always send people there.

When it was time to leave, I took the guitar back to the shop and the guy offered me $25, we laughed a little and he still only gave me $50, but the fun was worth it.

The crash happened near Medford, N.J. also killing the helicopter pilot. The crash happened just hours before Troy and Eddie Montgomery were to play a show in Medford, N.J.
