My father Paul Selvaggio and his partner Irv Karpman had the Music Shop for 37 years. I worked there for about 15 of them along with Irv’s kids. Prior to this location they were across the street at 200 S. 5th. and prior to that they were in the Orpheum Theater Complex next Mae’s Card shop.

Stella Blue, That’s what I named my daughter! Coincidence. (Please don’t into a strip club!)

I bought many records at this store when I worked down town and yes you could play them before you bought them.

Wasn’t there also a record shop near the Capitol Building? I think it was on 2nd St between Monroe & Washington. But I haven’t been back in so long I could be wrong.

the bootery is the name of the shoe store.
the record booths that you could listen to 45s at the music shop was along the south wall in the basement. i always wanted to do that when i was there but i never felt that comfortable in that store when i was a kid.

Does anyone remember the name of the popular shoe store on the corner of 5th and Monroe near the Senate theatre in the 60′s and 70′s? Every one I knew got their Capizio’s there.

The Platter on 4th & Adams S-E corner was my premier record store downtown until the mid 70′s. Wish they had a photo.

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 …
