Seems I've been collecting records since I was a little kid. Born and raised on Country, I'd been handed down from my Mom and Dad the likes of Hank Williams Sr., Lefty Frizzel, Carl Smith and Wanda Jackson. As the years slowly passed I grew into collecting Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, George Jones and Tammy Wynette. All through out the years, I've never strayed too far from my country roots and still keep it close to my heart, and I still DJ country nights in various clubs today.Not just Country though. Growing up, I'd hear this other stuff coming from my sister's room and think, "it ain't country, but I can dig it". I used to call it Bubble Gum music, Frankie Avalon, Paul Anka, Ricky Nelson, Connie Francis and Elvis. Through out high school, I'd gotten exposed to what was called Rock, now often referred to as Classic Rock. Then just as graduation came around I discovered Underground, very soon to become known as Disco music.
I started DJing soon after in 1975. This is where and when my record collection grew and expanded to unexpected proportions.
From record purchases to record pools, I had to have it all, to keep the dancers dancing, to try to fullfill each and every request, and to educate the customers if you will, keep exposing them to the new stuff. I did that till 1989, then I went back to my Country roots and started in the Country Clubs, with an occasional Retro-Disco spin here and there. Once again, my collection grew, though this time it was Country, in the CD format.
So here and now, getting closer to my golden years, after lugging all this vinyl from Ohio to New Mexico to Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. To Colorado and back to Ohio and finally here to beautiful sunny Florida, I've decided to give it all up. Mom used to say I was throwing my money away, I think now, that it's my retirement fund. Now I'm offering it all up to YOU!
Here you will find over 800 Disco/Dance Albums and more than 2500 Disco 12" Singles.
