End of an Era

I've been a bit slow on the digital music. I download it. But then I immidiately burn it to CD. Compact Discs are disposable, easily scratched, yes. But they were there for me (used and new) when I needed them. And it's kind of hard to say goodbye to them.

Selfish nostalgia aside this New Yawka saw his community CD shop go under, and his "rock star" life disappear. I see a loss of community, and luckily here in Norman the kids have a place to talk about music matters with knowledgeable clerks. Market and rent aint' like it is in New York.

At any rate, here's Sal's story told in one of my favorite little features in Newsweek, My Turn.
