History:

The year was 1978, Jimmy Carter was President of the United States. Billy Beer, (the namesake venture of the President's brother, Billy Carter), was all the rage, gas was 63 cents per gallon and a young and wide-eyed biology teacher named Mike Morgan became the sole founder of Morgan Music in Lebanon, Missouri; opening the original Morgan Music  in a small office space in the Interstate Shopping Center that currently houses Daylight Donuts.

Those were lean times, Mike lived in the back of the store, his only creature comforts being a hand-me-down couch and a borrowed 5” black-and-white television with rabbit ear antennas. However, with major product lines like Hondo guitars and Kustom amplifiers, Morgan Music was on its' way.
