Growing up in a small yet bustling New England town full of mom & pop shops of the 50's & early 60's,  Harlan, his brothers, and his friends played 45s & LPs, reel to reel, eight track & cassette tapes, and listened to a whole lot of radio as a main source of entertainment & education. Music magazines such as Downbeat, Hit Parader, Rolling Stone, Eye, Creem and others were devoured, records were bought unheard, and bragging rights established for the new discovery.

Sometimes, on especially miserable New England winter evenings, passionate discussions on the merits of bands & record releases were exchanged (as well as a few record collections), over a game of pool. Bragging rights were established on one's newest musical discovery at the record shop, or on late-night "underground" radio.

The idea for the store grew out of an obsessive hobby with listening to, then collecting records, and a yearning for the mom & pop music stores of my childhood...the records, sheet music, instruments & accessories, and the old guy who taught music lessons in the basement.
