Record Store Day Is Coming

Record Store Day is commmiiiiinnnnnggg!!! I know I can shop for vinyl on all of the other 364 days of the year, but heading out on Record Store Day is extra special. I enjoy seeing all of the music enthusiasts wrapped around buildings like Amoeba Records in LA and just making a whole day out of being excited about the new or remastered music they are going to hear once they put the needle to the record.

Well maybe not everyone makes a whole day out of it, but I like to think they do {smile}. For me the day starts with breakfast, then I head to 1 to 3 record stores grabbing a Starbucks caramel frappuccino between one of those visits. The day actually starts on Record Store Day Eve when I go to the store to purchase what foods will go with my new tunes. This year I'm looking for some Donny Hathaway. Man I love his voice and spent some time listening to some of his music on YouTube over the weekend. And while I sing about having some Donny Hathaway in my record crate, I realized over the weekend that I actually don't. I could have sworn I had one record in there. I'm going to look for the Donny Hathaway album. It has one of my all time favorite songs on it, A Song For You. And while I love Leon Russell's original version and so many other renditions of the song, Mr. Hathaway's is my absolute favorite.
