On Final Approach to Record Store Day 2012 in Southwest Ohio

by Jonathan Goolsby

CINCINNATI — The boss looked at me quizzically.  “Why do you need off Saturday again?”

I was tempted to say shomer Shabbos.  I feel that strongly about it.  “Record Store Day,” I said.  “It’s basically a holiday.”

“Never heard of it.”  Her eyebrow arched.

“Obviously, you’re not a vinylhead.”

“But you wanted off Friday, too.”

“I know.  I have a show to go to that night.  That’s Record Store Day Eve.  It’s kind of like midnight Mass for rock and roll.”

“Uh huh.  You do want to keep working, right?”

“It only comes once a year.”  And it’s a full lineup for Record Store Day 2012.
