this was "the" music store to go to whether you lived downtown,uptown,the burbs...
More so, if you were a kid in the burbs and loved music,you always ventured to Sams (regardless of whether or not you're parents allowed it !).
What can I say ? It is one of our city's great music landmarks. Lets have something to remember it by...
