WS: I
remember my brother and I would go in there. We used to stop in there and they
used to have these boxes on these wrought-iron type legs, it was real flimsy.
They had all these 45s OK? What we did is we would look at the name of the
record company, you know – certain companies. That’s the ones we’d buy. We’d
buy the song by labels. Go play ‘em, if they turned out to be good, we’d keep ‘em,
if they didn’t, we’d throw ‘em away. I still have those records; I could show
them to you. They had stamps on them – 35 cents. That’s what they were selling
at, that price. There was Bo Diddley, Magic Sam, Big Walter, Little Walter,
Libby and La Fayette. Lot of those 45s we’d go ahead and copy … you know, learn
off the records. My brother was the one that had the collection, but I have the
records now in my house.
JF:
Denny Walley mentioned something about going in there. He said that they were
old jukebox records. They’d take ‘em out of the jukebox and put them in the
racks.
WS:
That’s right.

Thanks for all your posts. I have enjoyed many and look forward to the rest.
