[Slowhand] Best Buy

[David McGee]

My first real job was in a record store.  It was only natural, as all  
through high school, I'd skip school and do the record store circuit.   
There were about 4 stores I'd hit, and this is where I first starting  
buying EC bootlegs.  Here in the SF bay area, we still have some good  
ones (Amoeba among the best), but it is a dying breed.  My son was  
just about 4 weeks old when Tower announced it was closing.  So we  
packed up and spent some time wandering the aisles, so I could say he  
shopped at Tower "back in the day".  I, too, and bummed about the  
demise of it all, but know this...I was in a Best Buy recently and  
they are selling vinyl!!!  Couldn't believe it.  It was a handful of  
releases, but I imagine that if those succeed, they'll add more.  It  
was nice to see.
