I remember “saving” up, and then riding the bus downtow with friends to go to the Music Shop and buy a record – in the late 60’s. And then going home and playing my new 45! It was fun. I think they cost about 87 cents at the time – ha! And then a couple of years later, we would ride the bus home from SHA. There was a Sandy’s restaurant I think in the next block up, where we would stop and get a coke and fries while waiting to transfer to the S. 5th St bus. Yup, those were the good ol’ days!
I loved this store. I remember walking downtown and buying 45s at this place. The last record I remember buying from there is a 12 inch of Valley Girl by Moon Unit Zappa.

There was a Sandy’s until the early ’70s when it became a Hardee’s. I worked at a shoe store on 5th Street from 71-73 while I was at Griffin.

Do I remember correctly that (back in the 60′) this store had booths where you could listen to the 45’s before you purchased them …
