Timbuck Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 My memories are giving me trouble again..I can't remember the name of the music shop on Carver Street, where I bought my first Hofman Colarama guitar in 1957..I remember a short guy in glasses and a taller one with black hair called "Eric" They owned the place, I bought the guitar on Hp... and i went down to the shop every Sat morning and paid 10 Bob per week untill it was mine.

SheffielTony Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Now that you've named it . . . . I remember Milners too. I used to drool over the instruments in the shop window, and once in a while go in to buy a set of strings or a plec. I once bought a guitar from a swap shop on Button Lane (is that right?). The guitar was a Black Rose and I thought it was great at the time - never saw another one like it either. "Cann the Music Man" - bet that shop isn't there any more. It used to be at the top of Dixon Lane - more drooling over the shop window! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalRegular Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I bought my first electric guitar at Milner's too. An Elgita Musima 707:confused: I think it was Hungarian or something, and I had a sort of hi-fi amp that i used to play it through. We did Southey Youth club once about 1967 and I used to stick the lead from the input straight into the output to get pure feedback!! Then by turning one or two knobs you could vary the tone/pitch of the feedback. We had a 5 minute solo of that!!!! Strange days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
