What were you doing in 1993?

I loved working at the record store. I did it for four years, which was like getting an unofficial bachelor’s in music. I walked in as a metal head and walked out with a deep appreciation for blues, jazz, zydeco, early country, and early R&B among others. With things like Spotify, it’s easy for anyone to expand their horizons today, but back then, before the internet took off, it was an experience that couldn’t have easily been duplicated in any other environment.
