Today is International Record Store Day. There is a large prize (a boxed Ernest Tubb set) if you can actually find a record store.
Our favorite record retailer now is Irv Kupelow, whose store is in the trunk of his 1978 Bel-Air. Call Irv for good deals on bootleg recordings of Charlie Parker, Bob Dylan and Frank Zappa.
His slogan: "For Atlantic to Verve, just call Irv."
Pointless Digressions is the on-line extension of a radio series commissioned sometime
in the last century by the Vancouver radio station AM-1040 (now Team 1040, an all-sports broadcaster). The mini-programs were written and voiced by Lyndon Grove, whose ambition, he said, was "to digress my way through life."
Grove describes himself as "a media Gypsy," having spent vast amounts of time in radio,
television, newspapers, magazines, advertising, public relations, film and live performance.
Pointless Digressions is his self-help therapy project.
