Record store day 2012

April 21, 2012 marks the fifth annual record store day.  You will be seeing lines form around your local record stores.  Cities all over the country will be participating.  I know most of you probably find it more convenient to listen to digital downloads.  But you really are missing out on a great experience.  I am not bashing mp3 or itunes or anything like that.  In fact I think they're cool.  Especially to get music that would otherwise be hard to find.


  Tomorrow is like Christmas to music lovers.  Its a great day to get the old experience of searching through tons of albums to find the one thing you were looking for.  The best part of it is you usually end up finding tons of stuff you forgot was even out there.  Most of you should remember the first album you bought on vinyl, and the feeling you got when you brought it home.  Pulling that sleeve open, checkin out all the art work on the cover, playing it repeatedly.

   For those of you that have kids or friends that have never been to a record store.  Shame on you   Its a great way to support your community and your local artists.  Its a lot of fun and its good for people of all ages.  So go out and make a day of it.   Im headin to Nashville tomorrow to check out everything going on there.
