Years ago I sold records at a local flea market. I stopped because, of course...

I had to sell the LPs I wanted myself as the "easy stuff" just didn't sell. My booth was beginning to bulge at its seams because I'd find so many collections, grab the good stuff for myself, and put the flotsam and jetsam in the booth for sale.

I'd find collectible C&W, which I wasn't interested in at all, but I'd also find early Rock, of which I was only moderately interested in. So, I regret the Buddy Holly and other historically important individuals, not so much the early Elvis but there were some LPs people (and now myself) would kill for that I sold for 10 bucks, 20 bucks...not too much more than that.

I found a Teddy Wilson LP on the Parker (Bird) label and was excited as hell, until I played it. It sounded as if someone was standing outside the room (quite large room if I recall...a really big bar???) out in the hallway with a mike and a portable reel to reel. The sound was abysmal! But it was great Jazz! And I sold it for 10 bucks 'cause it wasn't an audio gem!

Stupid, stupid, stupid! Shortly after that empty headed decision, I sold the LPs in the booth to another guy and quit the LP sales gig forever. Just in time because that weekend I found enough Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry amongst others to satisfy any Rock collector!

I think...I'm not sure...that the cover was a David Stone Martin cover.

It hurts, Mommy, it hurts bad!
