The Hawk family has made music
their business for many years. Phil is a fantastic musician and
owner of Hawk Music Center in Bethlehem, PA. His father
started the business in 1973, and Phil is carrying on the
tradition. I have been going into that store for as long as I
can remember. I bought my first guitar and amp there. It was
always cool for me to go in when I was first learning and
watch Phil play any song by ear. You could not stump
him...I know because I tried on more than one occasion. Phil
is still very active in the local music scene and Hawk
Music continues to inspire the musicians of tomorrow to get
started on their musical journey. We had a great after hours
conversation in his store. Phil shares many stories that he hasn't
talked about in years. He tells about jam sessions
in the garage, being in bands with his family, and the many
customers who have come through his store over the years. Phil and
his family show us that a music store can be a viable business if
you are doing it for the right reason. The Hawk family certainly
is.
