RE: (TV) OT - MANNY'S

[Murray Ramone <murrayramone@hotmail.com>]

Johnny Ramone bought his first mosrite there, the blue one - supposedly he
settled on the mosrite because he'd asked the salesmen so many times about the
prices of the guitars he got confused and quoted a cheaper price than the
first time so he bought it. His reciept for that was up for sale on ebay when
he was still alive, I dont think it made the reserve price at the time.
