This is the third and final part of my Amsterdam project: two more canal houses and two canal boats next to the already existing book store and cheese shop.
The narrow dark red and white building contains a music store on four floors that sells records and a great selection of modern and classic musical instruments.
The corner building provides space for three different businesses: a flower shop on the ground floor, a therapist on the first floor and a tailor shop on the two remaining floors.

My man-cubs and I often go to our local music store. As I was taking this shot, my heart was pounding because I have the fear of getting caught. I have no problem asking people to take their photo but trying to get candids is a whole other story. I am learning and practicing and in the words of my dear friend Andy, it should be an adrenalin rush?

Doing a bit of cd shopping (yeah, I know...I actually BUY cds still) at the legendary Jazz Record Mart in Chicago, Illinois.
And here is my second hand vinyl haul from Vinyl Villains. Freezing day outside, biting, strong wind and snow flurries, so nice to go inside and spend half an hour browsing the vinyl racks in this Edinburgh institution, came out with David Byrne's Rei Momo, Michelle Shocked's Texas Campfire Tapes and Best of Ian Dury and the Blockheads.
I was given a really nice birthday present of a retro 50s style record turntable, the kind that comes in what we used to call an overnight case (don't think you get those these days, replaced by cases on wheels!). Have dug out my old vinyl from my parent's loft but also been out browsing for second hand vinyl regularly since I got it, quite fun browsing the few remaining stores that stock them second hand).
Must confess been really enjoying going back to vinyl, not so much through some purist oh it sounds better thing, just enjoying the ritual of taking album from sleeve, putting it on turntable, cleaning it, needle on record. And then it is just roughly 20 minutes per side, so i find I am concentrating more on the music than I do when I have a playlist on MP3 on the laptop or phone. Been enjoying the heck out of that wee portable turntable present. Fortunately for the neighbours I close the blinds before I dance around the turntable to the music! Nobody needs to see that sight! (great fun though, I mean sod it, enjoy it and embrace the fun)
Update: I tweeted this pic and ended up getting some very horrible abuse from Michelle Shocked's official twitter (accusing me of supporting international crime by buying a bootleg when I had bought a second hand record in a store). At that point I was unaware that she was, shall we put it charitably, rather different from the singer songwriter I used to love years back...
Chris Rea's voice and guitar playing are so consistently good.

Lillian's Music Store is located right in the middle of Downtown Gainesville and it has a pretty groovy neon sign.
SE 1st Street between SE 1st and 2nd Avenues, Gainesville.
Another famous landmark just round the corner from the Ryman Auditorium: Ernest Tubb's Record Shop on Broadway, Nashville in April 1967

(See links). Established 1958. Ciderville Music Store is a quirky music store nestled in a curve of Clinton Highway just past Powell. It is one of the few remaining relics of Knoxville's past, which makes it a must see even if you aren't a musician. It is the antithesis of Guitar Center, filled with pictures, portraits, and memorabilia of bluegrass musicians and Cas Walker. They have a nice selection of both new and used guitars, basses, and banjos. It isn't uncommon to come in and see some old timers sitting on old barber chairs playing in the guitar room. The staff is incredibly friendly and willing to cut you a deal if you really love an instrument, plus they offer music lessons. On Friday nights, they have live bluegrass shows that draw people from all over, as evidenced by the line of cars parked along Clinton Highway.
Whether you're looking for that special instrument or just want a glimpse of Knoxville's scruffy past, Ciderville Music Store is a must see.
Ciderville Music Store 2826 Clinton Hwy. Powell, TN. 040321.
