Former President of Dollarhide Music Passes Away

William Dollarhide, former president and co-owner of now-shuttered Dollarhide’s Music Center in Pensacola, Florida, passed away on Jan. 16, according to NAMM. He was 74 years old.

Dollarhide and his wife Margaret opened Dollarhide Music Center on March 1, 1988, after Dollarhide previously worked for Jimmie Johnson at Mississippi Music for several years. Dollarhide served on the NAMM Board twice, once beginning in 1987 and then again from 2000–2003. Dollarhide Music Center closed in 2016, and in more recent years, Dollarhide worked beside the staff at Blues Angel Music in Pensacola providing knowledge and support.
