Salutations™!!

Before we went to Hoots Beer Company‘s anniversary/Oktoberfest release, The BCPF and I still made our routine morning happen, including walking, farmers’ market, Mary’s Gourmet Diner and, yes! Underdog Records. We got some good stuff, too. Here’s what we picked up!

So, yeah, a good haul. We didn’t get to listen to as much as we usually do on Saturday, but we didn’t have a lot to wash because most of the used stuff was in really good shape, and Jonathan had cleaned some to gauge his pricing. While we were there, a young lady came in and asked Jonathan about getting into vinyl. I get excited about that. She was probably early- to mid-twenties. Jonathan is great for that kind of guidance. And, when you get into the collecting aspect, use Discogs to archive, and chronicle your collection.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
