As a born and bred Midwoodite (we never called it Flatbush even when
Yeshivah Flatbush High School was built virtually down the block) at
whose wedding Andy Statman played, I can assure you that he does live
in the neighborhood, and that Eichler's has claimed that he (also?)
drops in there.
Maybe I'll bump into you the next time I'm picking up Zomick's challah
from Negev or a seeded rye from Isaac's. Oh, you buy them too? No
wonder they've been running out.

One thing that Rochel Sarah failed to point out, was that David Sears, the
author of the aforementioned article, is also affiliated with Andy Statman, as
a manager of some sort. So his observations have to be taken with a grain of
salt, as he definitely wrote the article with a certain agenda, even though
many musicians in the Jewish Music industry harbor the same prejudices. It was
also evident that he received information from people within the industry, who
seemed to definitely have an ax to grind. Again, I probably agree with many of
his points, but it is a mistake to view Spears article as entirely objective.
By the way, Isaac's also makes a killer potatonik.
