Help with the name of a guitar store from the past
This may be a long shot, but here goes - As a kid back in the mid 70's I took guitar lessons at a guitar store located at the corner of Kenwood Rd and Montgomery Rd in Cincinnati, OH. The store is long since gone, and I no longer live in the Cincinnati area. Would any of you from the area happen to know what the name of that music store was? For the life of me I can't recall the name of the store or my teacher's name.

I know nothing about Cincinnati other than WKRP and the Reds roster of the mid 1970s.
However, a Google search reveals a place called Willis Music which is currently located on Montgomery Rd. in the Kenwood Galleria. If you read the store's history, it was in two locations in Cincinnati in the 70's. There is a history narrative and a few photos here: https://willismusic.com/about-us/

Isn’t that Willis Music? They’ve been there over 100 years.

Thanks for the help. I was thinking it may have been Willis. The current store at the Kenwood Galleria is pretty close to the area, so it could be that they relocated to their current location from down the street.
Thanks again for the help.

Is it the store that faced Kenwood Rd? I bought an Ovation there in 1974, but I can’t remember if it was Willis or Buddy Rogers. There is no music store there now. Willis is in a different location in Kenwood and Buddy Rogers stopped selling guitars and now only sells band instruments.
