Made an appointment with Elvis for my son to try out a few alto saxes. When we arrived, he had set…read moreup a private room for us. The pics attached are just a few of the saxes from that day. There were way more throughout the try out process. Elvis was so knowledgeable you'd think he himself was a sax player! He allowed my son all the time he needed to make an informed decision so we could buy the sax that is just right for him. Elvis came and went with different saxes offering us water as well. It was such a fun and relaxing event. My son was in awe of all the beautiful instruments--from vintage Selmers to average Yamahas and an out-of-this-world Yani! We couldn't have asked for a better way to make a life-long high-end purchase. No pressure tactics. No sales pushes. Just information and world-class customer service. We finally decided on a sax and Elvis gave us a great price. My son felt great as we left with his new Yani

It's as if I was bringing a guitar and they were fixing out of the kindness of their heart. I would absolutely not recommend Rockin Robin....this is why brick and mortar are gong the way of the dodo.

This is by far, the BEST Steinway Piano only shop in Houston, Texas…read more I went there this afternoon to check it out and I was greeted with a warm welcome from Scott, my salesman. He was very helpful, enthusiastic, and opened to my questions. What is a plus is that he's been in the piano dealing business for nearly 20 years and know quite a lot about the other competitor brands. What I like about this place is that it's quiet, clean, and just makes me feel at home, that's the way every piano shop should be. Scott is also kind enough to give me advice and several helpful brochures about purchasing a Steinway Piano. I am pleased to shop here and hopefully I can buy a piano there in the near future. If anyone in Houston has a taste for Steinway Pianos and cannot find one in your regular piano shop, come over to Steinway Piano Gallery in the heart of River Oaks Community..You will not be disappointed!

It's understandable to a certain degree, these are elegant instruments worth a hundred grand easy, but wow. I was met with hostility from a staff member upon entering. I came in expecting to spend some time with some beautiful pianos and get to experience playing and trying some out, but was constantly berated by a particular staff member who was actively trying to get me to stop playing the pianos, asking me if I had an appointment and verbally telling me to stop playing for a minute. He then insulted my financial status by suggesting something in a lower price range. Eventually he came up with some story "We have appointments with customers in the next 5 minutes, so if you could wrap it up here, that would be great." He interrupted my playing numerous times and slyly kicked me out of the store and was a complete asshat! People like this make the world of music less enjoyable for all. Music is meant to be spread and rejoiced by everyone, not gatekeeped by snobs. The one star in this review is for the pianos only. It truly is tragic that these beautiful instruments must sit under the same roof as these rotten people.

Too bad TRL is in its last season or else you'd catch my new music video real soon. You hear that…read moreeveryone? I'm kinda a big deal. I came to SugarHill Recording Studios with bosslady Andrea R to meet with fellow yelper and SHRS extraordinaire, Gina M. Unbeknown to us, there was a recording session going on in one of the studios for Stan Keeton. We were later approached to take part in the session. Alas, my big break. So there we were, standing with cups, keys, spoons and other nifty noisemakers giving off sounds of holiday cheer. After about three takes, we finally nailed it. Back to SugarHill and what it's all about. SugarHill isn't just a recording studio. With more than 65 years in the bizz, Houston's historical music scene is what it is because of SugarHill. Names like Lightnin' Hopkins, The Rolling Stones, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Selena, Janis Joplin, Jermaine Duprie, Destiny's Child, Clay Walker, Southern Backtones and countless others have recorded here. The studio facilitates two recording studios, an amazingly talented staff of engineers, vintage equipment, a tape vault and other highlights to help create your perfect album. What many don't know is that SugarHill is open for anyone to rent out, and that can cost as little as $70 an hour. I like to consider myself as someone who knows a lot about the city, but I am shamed to say that I had no idea that SugarHill was right in Houston's backyard. Glad I *finally* caught on. A side note for everyone, Friday November 28, 2pm, SugarHill Recording Sessions will air on 90.1 KPFT (or on stream at kpft.org). The monthly broadcasted Sessions will introduce independent artists to the city by featuring unique talent straight from the studio. Tune in!

So I came here the other day to record my new album.... Bet…read moreya didn't know I was a singer, did you? OK, I'm NOT...the only singing I do is in the shower, but I think the peeps at SugarHill could even make me sound good! So the real reason Miss Farrah A and I were here was to hang with fellow yelper, Gina M. Gina is a lucky gal because she works for SugarHill! She gave us a fun tour of the place that has recorded hits for many artists including Destiny's Child, Lyle Lovett, etc. We met lots of engineers and other people who work here and they all greeted us with a big smile. I'd be smiling lots too if I got to listen to cool music all day long! While Beyonce wasn't at SugarHill the day we were there (darn- must have been elsewhere with her boy Jay-Z) there was a very nice older gentleman recording a xmas song. Farrah and I both commented that it sounded like a country xmas song. Only in Texas- right? It turned out that the country xmas singer needed some background noise for his song so he asked Farrah, Gina, I, and a few others to chit chat in the background and pretend we were at a holiday party. I may not be able to sing, but I can chit chat and party until I'm blue in the face so this was the perfect job for me! Unfortunately, I wasn't as talented as I thought and we had to do this over 3 times, but now i feel very experienced in fake party talk. So a few weeks from now you'll be able to buy my first song (stay tuned for the name of the singer!), recorded by SugarHill....just listen for that chit chat in the back!! PS: Received word from SugarHill that the man behind my new hit is....Stan Keeton!
