Customer Reviews

i was there in 1996 and my first guitar too.. 30 years ago!

I live in Peru. my father went on a business trip in 1979 and bought me my first electric guitar in Manny's. in 1996 i visited New York and stopped by Manny's to thank them for helping my father to choose the guitar, which i still proudly own and this year will be 30 year old. I was impressed by the pics in the walls of the store. More worthy than the memorabillia of a dozen Hard Rock Cafes. I was specially impressed by a letter by Pete Townshend giving a guitar as a present to a yougn boy living in NY with no money to afford a guitar. If you want to witness the history of rock, from Buddy Holly to U2, buy this book. I will.

THE WALL OF FAME: NEW YORK CITY'S LEGENDARY MANNY'S MUSIC recalls a New York institution with a guide to one of the most important music instrument stores of the swing, big band and electric eras. Manny's was the music store of choice for musicians ranging from Kiss to Chet Atkins, Chet Baker and Dizzy Gillespie: THE WALL OF FAME is a rock celebration of these musicians, offers a gorgeous blend of a concert diary and rarely-seen souvenir photos, and reproduces nearly 200 autographed photos from the store's walls.

Manny is My Man!!!

I wish I was in there shoes growing up. Meeting the stars that are in this book, words can't express. Jimmy, Janis, Paul and Bob to name a few bring goose bumps to my arms. I would rather be in there shoes than to hit the lotto. They rocked!!!!!!
