From Robert Donovan:
Folks, I got an ol' fashion ***-whoppin' from Hurricane Ike. Island Music had 7' of water inside the store and as luck would have it, we put everything 4' to 5' off the ground.
So what's going to happen to Island Music?
Who knows, but here are my plans;
I have set up an office, working off a cell phone (409) 877-2565. If you have a urgent problem, please call me at this number. The land line (409) 763-6197 is scheduled to be back in service Oct. 15th, but as the phone company said to me, "But don't count on it."
As most of you know, a big portion of my business was sound equipment, in churches. Many of these churches have water damage, like most of Galveston. My days are spent, right now, trying to help them get back running.
I am also available to "ANYBODY" who might need me to come by and appraise your musical equipment for insurance purposes. This is free of charge, but please keep me in mind as you are replacing it, this probably will be the differences of Island Music having a retail store again!
I also am working to get school band instruments in the hands of the kids returning to GISD. If you filled out papers to rent an instrument, you will be hearing from me in the next few days, if not please call me on the cell number.
I hope you are all okay and if you need any help from me, please call!
Robert "Bubba"
