Glenn, glad to read you once again. I especially like your photo from Stillwater, OK. Also, I am intrigued by ALL your shots done in NYC. BTW, once when I was at Jimmy's Record Mart in NYC, I saw a familiar face. I asked the clerk and he told me I was correct about my recognizing William Howard Ashton, better known as Billy J. Kramer of Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas fame. I was about 25 at the time and had followed many Mersey Beat groups for years. Kramer was thumbing through a number of albums. I walked by and said hello to him and mentioned that I had been a big fan back in the '60s. He was very cordial and we spoke for a minute, then I went on to stroll about that huge store. Your shot reminded me of that moment.
As always a nice selection and theme this week. That digging through the bins image really takes me back. The cut-outs section was always a favorite record store perusal stop. 😊

Love that story, Frank! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Mark. That was taken at Generation Records in Greenwich Village. Very cool place with a great selection.
