Good article .. I remember a conversation I overheard from the owner of Jerry's Records in Pittsburgh some years ago. He remarked to another customer that "he was never going to retire, they'll probably find me slumped over behind the counter someday and have to drag me out of here".

He did decide to retire though eventually .. one of his former employee's runs it now.

Those old school record store owners are a rare breed.

we are losing another record store in the south side this month...jerrys still stays around because most of his records are $4-5 and he has more than anyone....everyone in pitt who had records in the basement spent 20 years donating them to him and he tagged each one for sale.

all these other guys want to start at 10 and get 20 for most and that market is not there....the resurgence is still strong, but the dealers with dollar signs in the eyes are going to tighten it up.
