Bluegrass Group “Men Of The Week” stop by First Quality Music
This week we had some very special guest stop by the shop here at First Quality Music. Bluegrass group “Men Of The Week” paid us a visit while here in town playing a show for a Kentucky Derby Festival party. Mandolin player Leevon DeCourley got a treat when we handed him our Gibson Master Model “Old Growth” prototype. He put a few chops on it and didn’t want to put it down. Dillon Scott is the banjo player and we asked him to test drive our new Sullivan “Prewar” prototype banjo. We’ve been working on this one for sometime now and we’re just putting the final touches on it. C.J. Lewandowski is the guitar player of the group and he chose a Martin D28 Marquis Madagascar to pay along with their fine Fiddle player, Gerald Jones. Their web address is www.myspace.com/menoftheweek Here is a small video clip of their visit.

Thanks to evrybody at First Quality music, Especially Jeff, Eric, Merle, JC, and Tim. Everytime we come to visit , we are treated so well by everyone. The quality and selection of instruments and accessories is top notch and second-to-none at First Quality. It is great to be able to stop in and pick up everything you need, and it’s all under one roof. First Quality is the best for all your acoustic and electric needs. I love that place! Bill Sullivan started somethin great and he has an awesome legacy still being continued by his sons. It was an honor to get to hear and see Bill’s 1935 RB-3, much less, let Dillon play it!. Thanks to everybody for taking care of us and making memories for ‘The Men of the Week.’ We always have a great time at First Quality.
