Just saw that @samashmusic is closing all their locations. I basically cut my drumming teeth at the store on Lee Rd (46 represent!). It was one of my first jobs. We need somewhere to try gear. It's wild. I don't know what to say. Sweetwater is cool and all but damn. This industry is changing so much. Hang on, folks. Them times is a changing.

Our local Watermelon Music is Davis is closing too. Lucky to still have Nicholson Music is Folsom and we have a huge independent store called Skips in Sacramento but they just moved to a huge space and I don't see how they're going to sustain that. I almost think fb marketplace and Craigslist killer music stores more than online. I feel like I practically steal instruments second hand. Look at that baby, baby face. Double because you still have one so back then it was x2!

It’s the end of an era. I went to Sam Ash like two years ago and ran into Billy! Cool dude. I gotta say, this picture is giving uncharacteristic goth vibes. lol
