There is a Dolly Bag website for her Cranford, New Jersey location:

as 908-653-1324.


Dolly bags are the best, and she will work with you for custom needs.


I showed her what I carry to every gig - my Bach 50 with double Thayers, 
my trombone stand, and a plug-in electric fan  to go on the side of my 
chair (yes, a fan - I have problems with heat).  She modified her 
backpack double bass/tenor design and made me one for a very reasonable 
price.   Now I don't have to carry a seperate bag all the time. 


Her standard tenor gig bag is just as light as Cronkhite's and more snug 
and protective. 


She makes a great slide case, too


You do have to keep after Dolly a bit, though.


Larry was a good guy and great player.
