Re: [ARSCLIST] Other memorable record stores

[Robert Hodge <rjhodge@xxxxxxx>]

Ah Yes !!

But fortunately, Jim kept them arranged by artist and performance type and  electrical or acoustic . 

Otherwise you'd NEVER get through them all . I could do it if I spent a weekend there while sleeping on the livingroom couch. With breaks for Joyce's coffee and homemade food!

Happier Days  Indeed !!

And I keep forgetting, still an Austin Texas landmark for over 30 years,
our own Immortal performances, run by Jim Cartwright. Jim has thousands of
78s...his "store" is actually a small building in his back yard. He also
has two long storage buildings filled with antique phonographs. Alas, a
collection I had hoped to have on display for the ARSC meeting.

In addition to the 78s he has on his own property, a friend of his has her
garage full of discs. He also has many of his antique phonographs on loan
to friends...he has no more space for them. It is really an amazing
collection. Unfortunately, everything is so cluttered, you can't see the
machines...and it can take a long time to find a record.
