The radio station we are listening to is promoting a concert by Social Distortion in the Quad Cities.
“I like some of their songs, but I should check out more,” Jodi says. “I don’t really know anything about them.”
I had to admit that hearing this cover was the first time that I realized that I was listening to Social Distortion.
We are going to Jodi’s Aunt Bettys to pick up the last load of stuff from a garage sale that Betty and Jodi had put on during the weekend. I had included a fair portion of my vinyl album inventory, and fared better than expected. Although not well enough to make the crates feel lighter when I was carrying them down to the basement.
One plus is that I had finished the shelves I had been building (and painting if you look back to a couple posts last week), so I had a better storage situation to put the remaining albums back.
I haven’t done a final total on the number of albums I sold, but I know that I am about $140 for the weekend. Not a bad take.
Maybe someday a Social Distortion album will cross my path. I type this not knowing if they even have any of their albums on vinyl. Yet, it would be one of those cool finds. I’ve had a few like that including a Lagwagon album that I resold this weekend.
I like albums like that because I know that there isn’t a huge demand for it, but I suspect those who do want it, are going to be willing to pay for it.
