Rainer Ptacek at work at Chicago Music Store, Tucson 1994

[TheZoeDee]

remember the store, and him, and his fixing my f*****d up guitars, MOST fondly. GOOD times. Happy times. Rainer, forever missed, never forgotten.

That store is a dirty, stinking dump with shitty instruments and a rude piece of shit Jew bastard employees. There are so many other cleaner stores, why would anyone shop at that garbage dump?

used to blaze with Rainer in the basement.  Man could repair anything! Slide guitar LEGEND. Miss the nites at Cushing Street watching him and Das Combo. Got a few signed Rainer CD's in my collection I won't trade for anything!!
