Ontario Music is back

You may recall that Ontario Music closed in July 2010 after 50 years of instrument sales, repairs and music lessons. The good news is the store reopened on Jan. 2 under new ownership. The new name, as reader Dennis Sampson's photo above illustrates, is Gard's Ontario Music.

Gard's is a longtime Glendora store that took over the Ontario location. Visit their website here. I'll have more about Gard's in my Sunday column.

When I wrote about Ontario Music's closing on my blog, it drew more than 40 comments of condolence, which you can see here. (My column with all the details also garnered comment too but those have disappeared.)

I'm pleased to announce the store's reopening here where its fans can welcome Ontario Music back.
