DEDICATION SUITE / Featuring 3 of 10 movements
Dedication Suite honors individuals who have had a profound musical and personal influence on my life, reflecting meaningful experiences from the past to the present. Pictured above is the grand opening of the Montgomery Ward building in Anderson, Indiana—an iconic place in my family's musical journey. This building later became Joe’s Record Shop and then Anderson Music Center, which was owned by my father, Larry Mechem Sr. Today, it remains in the family, owned by my brother, LJ, and serves as the home of LM Products, Inc., a successful musical accessory company my father founded in the 1970s. This space represents a lasting connection to the Mechem family’s musical roots.
