In my piece about how blogging is not evil last week, I mentioned an inside joke for all of us Western New Yorkers. The House of Guitars, a large record and music store in Irondequoit, NY, ran television ads through the 1980s that featured the shop’s owner dressed up in bunny ears. He deadpanned “Hop, Hop, Hop” while listing their specials.
I was pursuing Facebook this morning to find that my Uncle had linked to an 1979 edition of the ad to wish everyone a Happy Easter. So here I am, doing the same. Here is the House of Guitars “Hop, Hop, Hop” ad from 1979. Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
