Manelli's Music Store

321 1/2 W Main Street

Keeping his prices low because of a favorable lease, Manelli does a brisk trade in sheet music, phonograph records, pianos, violins, and clarinets. Ukuleles are falling from favor, even in Arkham. Alberto Manelli also gives vocal lessons, still popular among those with aristocratic fantasies. Lessons cost $1 an hour and occur twice a week. 
Manelli was trained as a baritone in Italy, but forfeited his future when a tragic love affair forced him to flee the Old Country. He settled with relatives in Arkham. 
Popular songs in 1928 include "I Can't Give you Anything but Love", and "Makin' Whoopee", in 1929 look for "Star Dust," "Happy Days are Here Again" and "Tiptoe Through the Tulips." (Herber, Keith, et al. “H.P Lovecraft's Arkham.” Chaosium , Jan. 2003)
