Johnny Hiland and Christian Grizzard @ Atomic Music Store

[madamerotten]

Little known fact that Atomic is also one of the very few walk-in retailers in the world for great theremins, as well as guitars and amps.

NOBODY knew this guy was showing up. He happened to be en route on tour and was told about the store by a studio operator in the area. As far as "show offs" go,if you suck you WILL be ridiculed. REAL musicians don't need to validate themselves by playing in music stores until even deaf people are tired of hearing their pathetic attempts at the same old shit over and over again. At least Johnny could outplay ANYBODY who has ever been at the store EVER..........................­......

I am really ticked I missed this. Luis & Eric (the owners) never told me J.H. came in, nor did Matt (the Mgr.). I'm a huge J.H fan & bigger 6' 3" 380lbs. Atomic M. is great. Ive been goin here 4 13 yrs +. Unlike music stores, you can sit dwn and jam while deciding on an instrument/amp, etc. Novices & pros have sat down 2gether and mini jammed within reason of course. The staff hates show offs just so u kno. Once you become a regular, U 2 will B abused by the staff as I am a regular target :-).

Atomic Music is in Beltsville, Maryland. Next to College Park (down the road-go Terps) & Greenbelt, Md. I used to stay/live in Atomic Music when they were on Rt. 1 in College Park. I live 10 min. away. I go as often as I can now that they have moved up the road off of Rt. 1 - 12 min. away. You never know who or what celebrity will come in to try out instruments etc. or what high dollar piece(s) of equip. or instrument(s) you will find on any particular day for an unbelievable bargain.

The guy in the background is freakin'... I would be too if I happened to stumble upon such a jam.

I'd buy him lunch.............well, maybe not.

But I'd sure watch that good ole boy play.

How come Johnny Hiland never wanders into the music stores in my area? All we get are teenage death metal freaks!
