Steven Kirman better known in the area as "Steve's Music Store", has passed away. I would be willing to bet that 99% of all musicians in the Montreal area and visiting musicians' have been to his store. And chances are they have met him.
Sympathies to his wife, children and extended family.

He was a darned good man who knew everything there was to know about anything in his shop. He trusted me for a set of strings one time when I was broke. Paid him back about a week later. I never forgot that. The store motto was right: if Steve's didn't have it, ya didn't need it. Condolences to his family and friends.

What a wonderful place he created. Gone so young. Condolences to his family, friends, and patrons.

I first visited his store in 1967 and I still send prospective customers there. I understand there is an outlet in Toronto as well.
