Remembering Larry Self on his 81st B-day

Post by Jeffery Self »

Larry would have turned 81 years young today. 2/21/36 to 9/14/14.
Thinking of all the fun had at the many shows Larry put on through the 90's.
A special thanks to all you forumites who helped make them all great.
You know who you are, and you are each very special.

Thanks,
The Self's

Still have the LeGrande D-10 I bought new from Larry when he owned The Music Store in DeBarry, Fl. Real nice guy to deal with.
A couple D-10s,some vintage guitars & amps, & lotsa junk in the gig bag.

After the first visit to Larry at the Music Store we were friends. At the end of my second visit we were family. I miss my pal and his wit and humor. It was good to see you and your son Jeff.

Ah yes, Jeff, good for the memories. Like Ben, my first visit to the music store in Debary, will always be remembered. Ended up buying an old Sho-Bud to learn on, and lessons from Larry. Met a bunch of great guys there over the years, good to see you posting here, Ben. ...
Holds special place in my heart, since Larry & I share the same birthday. ...
Hello to Angie, and God Bless you all,

Rich, do you have a pic of that D-10?

Ben, It was good seeing you also after so many years, kinda felt like a time warp. You still sounded pretty good though :)

Yes Stan, a lot of great fella's passed through there including yourself. I had forgotten you and Larry had shared the same birthday, and will send your well wishes to Miss Angie. Sure miss seeing you guy's. As you said Stan, good for the memory bank. :D
