    You're a good interviewer, Dr Robert, a little patience & a little space & even ppl who won't be interviewed join in - - & a good eye for detail.

    Bob could be played by John Lithgow. What a great guy. Seeing people light up when talking record collecting is one of the greatest moments

      @@Doctore_Robert Bob uses a typewriter to make notes for the records. For example, a note might say "late 60's pressing" or "sounds better than it looks". He tapes these notes to the outer sleeve. I keep all of them. His new store is only a few blocks away but is much bigger!

    I used to call Bob at Enterprise when I was around 13 (I'm 47 now) and ask for Al Hirt and Si Zentner records. He'd find some, set them aside, I'd send payment and he'd mail them to me. I lived about 80 miles from the store. Very fond memories. Great to see him still at it. Thanks for this!

  • @cheapcheerfulrecordcollect8071

    When did you make this ? Bob has recently moved his store. I live in Portland and have shopped his store at 4 different locations now. Let me know next time you’re in town. We’ll go digging.

    Cool. You are on a vacation in Maine. I left Seattle on a red eye flight after the Sqeeze concert. I am in Aspen, Colorado for the John Denver Celebration. Having a good time here. It's a good thing they don't have a record store here. I am spending enough already 😊. Enjoy the time there, and I hope you find some good records.

    I love Bob. I’ve been buying records for him for years. And he will flat out yell at customers if they touch the grooves on the record. I’ve seen it first hand. He’s the best!! Hahaha
    When did you film this? This was the old location. He moved months ago.

    Ive never been to Maine or even thought much about it but this video makes me feel like ive been dealing with the place myl entire life. If there was a record store featured in On Golden Pond this one would surely be it. Rimbaud bio clips for decoration and Hemry Fonda weilding tape gun with purpose. Is that a plaster Trump mask or Roger Waters hanging on the wall behind our esteemable proprietor?
