So I left on a Sunday from Chicago bound for Kentucky. I spent 4 nights there then drove to North Carolina. Charleston was about 1/2 way so it was a prime stop for lunch and a quick chance to look for vinyls. First up was the old standby: Goodwill.
I had a brief discussion was an old timer who hand an armful of VHS tapes (as you can see they are right behind me to my left). I told him to give me a nudge if I was in his way and he politely said that I wasn't. Then he commented that he was buying some movies he had once owned but borrowed out. I joked that perhaps the people he borrowed them to eventually gave them to Goodwill and he was buying back his own stuff. He gave me a chortle and went on his way, and me on mine.
I found a copy of an 80s rock classic, a debut in fact. The jacket is a bit beat but the vinyl is very clean which is odd given the condition of its wrapper. No matter to me, I've already given it a spin and enjoyed even the songs I never heard before. I hesitated for just a few seconds and I'm glad I didn't hesitate for too long to add this to my collection.
West Virginia makes 23 states now - very thrilling to check it off the list! Stay tuned, loyal readers......
