Shopping At Newbury Comics

Thursday, June 23:
Found myself with a Lone Wolf night, so I decided to finally check out Newbury Comics' flagship store in Norwood. This is supposed to be their biggest store with the best stuff & I had a pocket full of cash. I hit the road with visions of killer vintage music dancing in my head! When I pulled into the parking lot, it was ovious this was their biggest store. Oh, boy! Upon entering, I found about the same amount of music as the much smaller Natick store & a crapload of trinkets & doodads. Oh, well! There's still got to be some good vintage tunes in here. Two hours of shopping yielded 2 CDs, one of which, I don't consider vintage. It was still better than staying on the couch, but if you're looking for vintage tunes, the Natick location is definitely the place to go. Here's the 2 CDs I bought, showing my ecclectic taste in music:
Songs That Got Us Through WWII
The Runaways-The Runaways/Queens Of Noise
Now, I'll have you know, I've been a Runaways fan since I was a young buck in the 80s & I still have a crush on Cherie Currie! haha

New Additions To The Music Library

OK, I'll start back slowly. On Thursday, April 14, I arrived home from the grocery store, (yes, I do all the shopping, coupons & all), to find a package on my doorstep. It was my new Book Of Tiki 10th Anniversary mug straight from sunny Southern California. The anniversary event was held at Bahooka in Rosemead on Sunday April 10 & my buddy JOHN-O got this baby to me in 4 days! I opened it quickly, but oh so carefully. What a great mug & JOHN-O even had Sven, (the author) personalize it & autograph it to me. Yes, it's true, I am Big Kahuna! LOL
Later that night, I went on a music hunt, one of my favorite things to do. Scouring the local music store in search of my kind of music is much more rewarding than just clicking on ebay. I never know what I'm gonna find. this night, I hit the Jackpot! I got 4 CDs:
Ruth Brown-The Definitive Soul Collection
June Christy-Spotlight On ...
Woody Herman-Pillar To Post
Les Paul with Mary Ford-The Best Of The Capitol Masters
WOW! Four great additions to my library. It was a good day.
