It's normal to go to a thrift store in search of vinyl albums right? Of course it is.
That's what I did on Thursday afternoon when I got off work and I made out like a bandit! 20 albums for 11 dollars! I was a happy lady walking up to the cashier. I even came away with six of Herp Alpert and the Tijuana Brass albums. Happy, happy, happy!
Well as the cashier is ringing me up his coworker could not stop staring at me. Honestly, she was gawking. Finally she said something like, "I didn't know anyone used those anymore." I cheerfully explained that it's my favorite way to listen to music and then the cashier chimed in saying his father was a big Tijuana Brass fan (I do love connecting with people). It was a really fun visit. I swear I shocked that girl out of her mind. I'll bet she went home and told people about me the same way I told about her. I can only hope that I peaked her interest. Maybe she'll try out some vinyl sometime.
Pamela, you need to save up and come visit me in Washington. I will take you to Pike Place and we can look at the cool store there that has all sorts of old records and posters, and you would love it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh yes! I totally want to! Maybe I'll hunt for jobs up there. Then I could live by you!
DeleteUm, yes. That sounds amazing. There are tons of jobs available out here too. It's just a matter of narrowing them down to what you want and can get. :)
DeleteSean and I buy records all the time at thrift stores! I am still searching for my Louie Armstrong ones! :)
ReplyDeleteI found one Louis Armstrong one this trip, it was not an old one, but a greatest hits put out in the 80s. But I was happy to have it!
DeleteLucky!!! I am still looking for one of his. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it! :)
