I was in the area this weekend for my nieces graduation from SUNY Geneseo. Early Saturday morning…read moremy nephew told me of a music store he spotted driving down Main Street the night before. He wanted to check out the guitars they had for sale. So, having a few hours before the afternoons ceremonies. My nephew and I went to Buzzo's Music Store. The store was crowded with proud parents and soon to be former students. Saying their final goodbye's to Buzzo while introducing their parents for the first time. My nephew walked straight to the back of the store to see what instruments were for sale. I was awestruck by the amount of original concert memorabilia and other items that seem to hang from everywhere. I started to look thru the old records for sale. I found Chris Squire's 'Fish out or Water' and 3 YES albums that I picked up as well. I turned and asked the man behind the counter (It was Buzzo.)if they had any more Chris Squire albums? He did not think so, but was happy to meet someone who was a YES fan. I told him that some of the remaining members of YES and ASIA are touring and will be performing at the Westchester County Center in June. This conversation quickly turned into how may YES concerts we have seen and what we thought was their best show. Then a friend of Buzzo's walks into the store and joins the conversation. ( I apologies, I forgot his name.) Both He and Buzzo begin to tell me that YES played at the Ballroom on the Geneseo campus back in 68. That is cost 50 cents to get in to see the show when the conversations turns to the topic of Chris Squire's solo. Both men said "Chris played Strangers in the Night." Anyway, I had a great time speaking to both men! They also sell Instruments, musical equipment and other stuff. If you are in the area, will be travelling near or just on the highway driving through. Please stop by! Just a side note, I found the 'Ballroom' on the SUNY Geneseo campus and walked thru it. There was a party going on inside for the graduating students so that parents could meet the teachers. Guessing it was standing room only? No more than 1000 people. But that would be maxed out. However...It had to be one AWESOME SHOW!! ....and my nephew liked the guitars in the back.

The best value, in my opinion is the wide array of used instruments and equipment! For example, I picked up a Fender Mustang GT100 for about 2/3 the cost of a new one! This amp is beautiful! The perfect jam amp and practically brand new! I grabbed a lower end used Schecter! Perfect beater guitar and some accessories to go with the amp and guitar; All used of course! Truthfully, the only other way to grab these kind of deals is Craig's List, but beware. You won't get the option to return the instrument if it doesn't meet your needs or expectations. Regardless, just going there and playing everything is super fun! Unfortunately, for my bank account anyway, I'll be back! Just a quick FYI!

I'll never forget the way they treated me up there. There are some creepy similarities here, and I worry that if I bought the same volume of equipment I'd end up with the same awful experience. Some of the associates (at most locations) would say anything to sell you this stuff and then once you get it, everything changes. Oh we never said that. Oh you misunderstood. Oh no it's not meant to do that. Oh we're not responsible for that breaking. Some shady and really bad people. On the other hand the people down here are better than the Buffalo staff, not saying much though. My experiences here have been more positive, but I'd still rather go to a local music shop.

That said, there are a few things the venue could improve. Signage for entry is minimal we found ourselves waiting outside in the rain, hoping someone would pass by to point us in the right direction. Once inside, there was some confusion at Will Call, as staff initially couldn't locate our tickets. This was eventually resolved, but the process was a bit frustrating after already dealing with the weather and unclear entry. Something I was not expecting was a three floor walk up....While I managed fine, it's worth noting there doesn't appear to be an elevator, which could be challenging for anyone with mobility concerns. If I'm wrong let me know. A highlight of the evening was the opportunity to meet members of the Silkroad Ensemble, including Artistic Director Rhiannon Giddens. Very cool! These are world class musicians Grammy winners, Pulitzer Prize recipients, and Juilliard-trained artists--and the music, representing cultures from around the world, came together beautifully. It actually reminded me of a radio station I used to listen to in Chicago called "World Beat." On WBEZ or something.... One minor note: the seating could be more comfortable, and a bit more legroom would go a long way. Overall, it was a lovely experience and glad I finally got to visit this venue and it won't be my last. Parking is available via street parking or nearby lots.
