Morro Bay Music — Central Coast Music on Main Street

Just walk in to this music store and you will hear, “Hi, Guy” and you just feel right at home.  There are few people in this world that have that kind of affect on strangers but here, in Morro Bay, is one of of those special people.

Everyone who meets him calls him friend. His name is Ed. Ed, Central Coast Music Man

I visited Haight-Asbury in the times of the hippies (1968). There were flowers everywhere and there was music being played on the streets and friendly people were wearing bright colors of cloth and long strands of beads and they had yellow and white garlands in their hair.  It was just as the song lyrics of, “If your coming to San Francisco” that was written by Papa John and sung by his best friend Scott said it would be. It was real.

But, that all changed within a year as drugs and free-loaders found easy access to these open-hearted people.  Later, Haight looked more like skid row than the Eden that I had found there in the beginning.  So, what does this have to do with the, “Hey, Guy” of Central Coast Music in Morro Bay, California?
Well, that feeling of belonging, that deep love of music and true welcomeness are still alive in this store. It is truly knarly, Man. Go See.  And tell his wife, Sunshine and daughter, Rainbow “Hi, Guys” from me.   You will love this place because, Ed is one of the “people worth meeting” in this short life of yours.
