Mo And Marty

Special congratulations to two winners of OC Weekly's "Best Of OC 2010" awards: Mo's Fullerton Music Centers (Mo is at left, left), where I got my first guitar on my birthday 15 years ago and my first lessons from Larry Samson (if you honk when you drive by his studio on Harbor Blvd., he'll wave) and novelist and "Orange Coast" magazine editor Martin J. Smith, whom I first met in his native Pittsburgh 25 years ago.
