Everybody's Records (Disc 2)

There are a few places I'd miss entirely if/when I left this place. I was reminded of that yesterday, when I stopped by Everybody's, in Pleasant Ridge, and picked up a few obscurities for my collection. In an age when independent record stores are disappearing like 8-track tapes, Everybody's has held its own. It's because they almost always have something you want that no one else has. (It's also because while I was there, one of the guys slipped a little Southside Johnny on the store music system, just for me. I didn't even ask.)

I picked up 3 discs Saturday -- the new Steve Forbert, a collection of Southern beach music and a double-disc from the classic '67 concert, Monterey Pop. I'd never seen any of those discs anywhere else.

I've been told about Shake It Records in Northside. Even recommended it, sight unseen, to B. Arroyo. I'll get over there one of these days.

It got me to thinking of the places around here I'd miss if I weren't around... here's my short list, in no particular order... feel free to give me yours...

Everybody's Records
Molly Malone's (formerly the Dubliner) across the street
Stein-Mart at Rookwood (because I'm tight)
Joseph-Beth at Rookwood
Party Source
Mariemont (don't live there, just think it's what a 'burb should look like)
Ault Park
Hickory Woods Golf Course.

Gimme yours... live big, Jimi Hendrix
