Story time: There is music on every street corner and in every shop.
When I visited, I found a real treasure. As I was walking around, I found a record store, which has been owned and operated for generations. When I walked in there was three people working, two older gentlemen and a younger woman. One of the older men was wearing a shirt saying “support local music – living on in records” the second gentleman sat on a stool in the middle of the sales floor.
He asked if there was anything he could help me find I replied “no thank you I am just looking around” he smiled politely and replied “okay” he paused for a moment and then got a second wind and started to tell me a story about what the city was like the day after Dr. Martin Luther King died just a few blocks away at the Lorraine Motel!
I leaned against the record racks and listened intently to every word he said throughout his story, it is amazing to have an experience such as this because you aren’t just reading about a historical moment from a book, but you are able to experience it through the eyes of someone who lived it!
