i just went there and bought a fender amp, i love thats store

Atomic Music is in Beltsville, Maryland. Next to College Park (down the road-go Terps) & Greenbelt, Md. I used to stay/live in Atomic Music when they were on Rt. 1 in College Park. I live 10 min. away. I go as often as I can now that they have moved up the road off of Rt. 1 - 12 min. away. You never know who or what celebrity will come in to try out instruments etc. or what high dollar piece(s) of equip. or instrument(s) you will find on any particular day for an unbelievable bargain.

Little known fact that Atomic is also one of the very few walk-in retailers in the world for great theremins, as well as guitars and amps.

Johnny's the nicest guy in the industry, this I know!!

The guy in the background is freakin'... I would be too if I happened to stumble upon such a jam.

Atomic Music is a great store, they got stuff I hadn't seen for 40 years sometimes, ha, or stuff I used to own, etc. Of course, plenty of newer stuff too. Eric and Luis are great guys, I first met them in 1995 or so, at the old location in College Park in their small gear packed house store right off Route 1 next to the U. of MD. Wow, Johnny sure can play! Nice work on the bass, Christian.

How come Johnny Hiland never wanders into the music stores in my area? All we get are teenage death metal freaks!

I am really ticked I missed this. Luis & Eric (the owners) never told me J.H. came in, nor did Matt (the Mgr.). I'm a huge J.H fan & bigger 6' 3" 380lbs. Atomic M. is great. Ive been goin here 4 13 yrs +. Unlike music stores, you can sit dwn and jam while deciding on an instrument/amp, etc. Novices & pros have sat down 2gether and mini jammed within reason of course. The staff hates show offs just so u kno. Once you become a regular, U 2 will B abused by the staff as I am a regular target :-).
