Dave Bellamy and daughter: “I’m the one on the right and that’s my lovely granddaughter, Alyssa, on the left. In 1991, at the time we opened Soundtronics in Burbank, she was not yet born. When we opened Soundtronics in Las Vegas in 1995, she still wasn’t born. Today, she is thirteen years old and lovelier than ever.”
