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.

Looking for someone in central Florida area adept at adding knee levers on my 93 LeGrande.

Does anyone know if there is going be a jam/show around Lakeland this January (the Heywood Henson show)?

Is there going to be a show in Lakeland, Florida this year? I haven't seen "hide-nor-hair" of ANYTHING posted.
