Jeff, thanks for posting. He & I shared a birthday, and had a lot of fun with it. He enjoyed life and being around others who enjoyed life. ...

Larry was a great guy! I used to make a point of visiting his store everytime I came out on leave. I still have the black 1993 Legrande I bought from him.

A good friend and is greatly missed.

I still think about him all the time. He sure made a name for himself among so many guys that were interested in music both the pro's and hobby guys. He did what he set out to do in that little DeBary Music Store!! God Bless.

Jimmy Day at Larry's store and show.

Post by Barry Yasika »

I found some pictures of Jimmy Day in Larry Self's store and playing at one of Larry's Florida shows I thought I'd share. It was me with him in the cowboy hat and a fellow named Travis McDowell was with him in the other photo's. Travis was a friend and customer of Larry's, a local player, singer and songwriter. Miss those days.
