"YOU ARE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB and turning The Candyman into a community of musicians!!! Thank you for continuing and expanding the tradition at The Candyman, of course."

 

"Yo Candyman: First off I want to thank you guys for all the great support you give to all the musicians here in "Santa." I don't think many musicians out there could survive without your  help!!! I would also like to thank you for the killer deal you gave me on my new MAPEX SATURN drums. I certainly could not have realized a dream of owning a "PRO" level instrument otherwise. Gracias to: El Randy, El Borrego, El Sambo, El Steve. You guys really rock. I am blessed to be associated with you."

 

Again, God Bless and Thank you all;

Heyraldo
