So I went to Jamestown and bought one from a music store there. I used to go into the 22nd and Parade street store quite a bit, but did end up teaching guitar for a short period of time at the 11th and Parade Osiecki store. I played in a band in the 60's called the Avengers.

He was an older man and had a slight accent. It was hard sometimes for my parents to come up with the $2 per half hour of instruction cost. Back then, almost the whole store was accordions. Now, at age 67, I'm starting to retake those lessons myself and I'm still in love with the accordion. I am amazed how many young people play it now and they are quite good. Funny, the used 120 bass accordion we bought from Osiecki was Italian made and sounded beautiful...better than the new plastic ones.Bob Foessettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410297566472541708.post-85207414206233342622013-06-07T11:04:02.899-04:002013-06-07T11:04:02.899-04:00I bought a Fender Stratocaster here and was told a...I bought a Fender Stratocaster here and was told afterward it was a pre-CBS (Takeover), in White but made my own Piggy Back amp in Woodshop, Strong Vincent High School as I was just a po-boy with big dreams in those days. I forget the price but remember it took all I had and then some!

They were the Fender dealer for a long time. This was all at the 22nd St. Store. I was only in the 24th St store a few times.
