Canada Am I the only Canuck here!?

[murphy]

When I lived in Vancouver, I think Wayne was the Bass manager at L&M? Wonderful man. I hope he is well???

all you folks seem to speak (or at least write) in very good english. my wife and i vacation in southampton, ON, every summer but i'm always reluctant to go because i don't speak canadian as well as she does. she loves it there, but again, she's fluent in the language.

i'm working on my canadian language skills, though, so.... "thanks"

ashbory , ha! hilarious! thanks for that! in spite of my previous post: we love the annual trip to your country, and find that most canucks have a wonderful (dry?) sense of humor and are generally eager to please with both hospitality and acceptance.

but the video is priceless --- just shared with the wife and she's still laughing! thank you!

he went into the car business his other passion was Cadillacs.

L&M is a outlet I rarely go. A nice bunch of folks, but it would cost me 10% restocking fee to bring something in and not like.

It's a hard sell to ask when $100+ is involved, and being only a bass player now, they rarely have my strings, so I order on-line.
(is Glenn the manager? I forget who swings the whip there(

Note, my buddy who passed last year used to be the manager a couple of years back

KC is the manager

This cites thing is gonna be rough on us up here...had a rosewood neck performance yb 5 I was thinking of moving but now I will be basically restricted to selling it within Canada.

Hello from Quebec City, I just noticed this thread.... and I Agree CITES would make some bass hard to buy or sell.

Just remember - when a Canadian says "Sorry", we really mean "You're an idiot" - just delivered more politely! Kind of like "Bless your heart", down south.

Schwartz is a bit overrated, IMHO. I'm more of a Nower guy.

Severely underrated IMHO.

This caught my eye! I knew Mark Nower back in the late 70s and early 80s when I lived in Montreal. I went to Quebec Smoked Meat in Point St. Charles several times as well. Glad to hear they`re still there. Talk about a blast from the past!
