    Great stories and memories of Reno. Lived there in the early 2000’s. Once I finally retire and get back to Nevada, my first project will be to buy a couple turntables and stock up on vinyl! Thank you for this series. Your timing couldn’t be more perfect!

      @@jtsrecordroom3963 thank you! I may take up on your offer. I just completed move #23 this year. Augh! Got tired of packing and storing so I gave away 3 storage sheds of great stuff we’d collected over the past 45 yrs and almost two households of furniture. Made some needy families very happy. I’d love to start collecting my records now but the less I have to move and unpack the happier I am. I’m considering looking for a resource to find out which are the rarest or hardest to find. If I drive back to the west coast I’ll pass through a lot of towns and could make some good finds! Maybe I’m trying to talk myself into starting it now. My album collection can’t be heavier than my rock collection

    I myself enjoy Charlie Byrd also, one of my personal Favorite is Called
    "Guitar Guitar" with Herb Ellis which came out in 1965. Julie London is awesome.
    Martin Denny is a classic , his Percussionist Augie Colon is awesome, & so is his son Lopaka Colon who was in a band call "Pure Heart" with Jake Shimabukuro , before Jake went solo.

    Hey JT great video loved the tour, love the albums! I inherited ‘School Days’ from my dad’s collection, he didn’t have many records really - maybe 30 or so, but they were all good! Glad you picked up the ‘I left my heart..’ I have that album I picked it up for £2 a couple of years back love Tony Bennett what a talent he was. Also the Go-Go’s love that album. I’ve been in love with Belinda Carlisle since the 80’s. Saw her live about 4 years ago and she’s still smoking hot I was like a teenager again lol! Talking of beauties that Arthur Brown is a fantastic find - noice! Take care cheers

My Uncle Bob in SF would submit songs directly to Ralph Sharon , he always reached high, and Mr. Sharon would refuse to take on any of his songs.. Some were outstanding, by the way ! Go Go's and Bangles.. Love it !!! 😉 ( pkg is not here yet )

I did inherit some nice early UK presses Elton John, Gerry Rafferty’s first 3 or 4 albums, some Eric Clapton and Dire Straits and a copy of War of the Worlds, which along with Captain Fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy sparked my interest in vinyl records in the late 1970’s. I’ve got my dad’s old turntable here I rescued it from the shed about 3 years ago and it had seen better days, but I’ve been gradually sprucing it up over time. After a new belt and service It works just fine. I just put a new headshell/cart on last week as well as a tonearm holder clip as the old one had been snapped off. It’s a Sansui SR-222 Mk 2 that my dad bought in 1978 for £70! The lid is cracked so that’s the next thing I want to fix. That’s very cool about your uncle you gotta just keep plugging away!

    Hi JT, another great video. It’s always great to see and hear your Reno knowledge and stories. When I discovered your videos about a year ago, you really inspired me to broaden my listening range - and I was able to find a couple stores in my area that sold $1 records. I went a little overboard, and 10 records or so a month turned to 40, 50, etc. I made it a priority to clean and listen to each record, but I have built up a box of ‘meh’ type records. I was wondering if you ever ‘weed’ out your thrift store finds? Thanks.

I now have a lot of very clean records, and am thinking of a booth in a new antique mall, only to balance the load I have coming in ! I still have plenty of room, and am going back to Bill's today, actually ! I really like the older jazz/ pop singers as well.. Sarah Vaughan, Julie London, Billie Holiday. Nancy Wilson, Dinah Washington.. and most of the great male vocalists as well.

    I guess I-80 obliterated most of the old US-40. Sometimes I think it would be fun to somehow just travel the old highways without having to live in those days (I wouldn't want to get stranded in the desert without a phone lol). I've been wanting to find an old Road Atlas from like the 1950's just to see how much things have changed in the roadways, but those atlases are a lot harder to find than you would think. I would have definitely picked up that Vince Guaraldi. Nice Stanley Clarke albums, haven't heard either one of those yet. That Great Guitars album looks pretty good too.

    You mention in your video that you have viewers that go thrifting but don't really find any records. Like most things in life timing is everything. Most people try to thrift for records on the weekends the worst time. That's when people are mostly off work when the compilation is the highest for finding records. The best time to go is on a Monday or a Tuesday early in the morning when they open. The weekend is the time when people make the donations, Monday and Tuesday is when thrift stores put the records out not the weekends when it's the most busy. It's like a hunting or fishing thing it takes patience but also going at the optimum time.

Then.. him and his brother do record pop-ups to sell. His video making is very elaborate, takes hours and hours to edit. Also, his work ( driving ) is important.. now he can dig without having to film. but.. I bet he is a little bit, anyway. He has everything .. almost that he could possibly ever want, or need, and when he organizes and sells through stuff, he might be back. I miss him and his vids too ! I might be wrong, but..
