I met Dave 55 years ago while I was the leader of a band named 'The Torkays'. I wrote a song called…read more'Why Margie Why' and took it to WPDQ Radio and the program director listened to the song and instantly wanted to record it. And through that I met Dave at Cypress Recording Studios. In the early 60s we were the first band to record there. Dave and his unique sound programming allowed for our record to be noticed by the radio stations around the state. With his dedicated work ethic and knowledge of the music industry, Dave is a top notch studio that will never disappoint. This is what led me to revisiting Dave 50 years later when I attempted to find an original copy of my record.

Exploring the various music stores in Jacksonville, I came across Clark's Music Center…read more Located in the Lakeshore area, Clark's has recently moved to a new location, in the process downsizing their operations. They now focus on guitar and percussion, and have moved away from keyboards, which is sad for me. The store is small, but they have a nice little selection of guitars in the store, along with a repair section that appears to handle more than just guitars. I saw a cornet trumpet being brought in for work, so they seem to know their stuff.
