Salutations™!!

First off, Happy Guy Fawkes Day.

Yesterday, The BCPF and I got to see our buddies Tony Dagnall and Clay Howard in the same day, at the same time! That was cool. Clay and I sang Happy Birthday to Underdog Records because it was their anniversary weekend. Wednesday, November 1 was their FOURTH anniversary! Woot! Here’s what we walked out with:

• Nick Drake – Five Leaves Left (The BCPF started pawing at this, so we knew we had to get it, it was on the previous RS list, new)
• The Beatles – Help! (#331 on the RS list, new)

As I said, it was the anniversary weekend of Underdog Records. For four years Jonathan has brought vinyl goodness to Winston-Salem. Plus, the holiday season is coming and he’ll offer gift “certificates” for your gift-giving needs. Also, he has several turntables in store for sale if you’re looking for a good one and he said he had some turntables coming soon. The holiday season is the perfect time to get into/back into vinyl. Then use Discogs to catalog your collection.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
