National Record Store Day

 It was a very cool gig at Rock-a-Billy's for the National Record Store Day celebration. Independent record stores are little jewels sprinkled though the greater wasteland of music retailing. What's helping them survive, we believe, is the availability of vinyl. We stuck around after we played and bought a pile of records-- stuff that is not on CD. We found a promotional copy of 'Stand In The Fire' by Warren Zevon, which is one of the best live albums ever made. We also found an old live Faces album. This stuff is hard to come by and the only chance you have of finding music like this (other than at a garage sale) is at an indie store. We wish Rock-a-Billy's and all the other great indie record stores in Detroit and throughout the country great success, now and in the future.
