I remember the excitement in Sam's front window every time a Beatles, Dylan, Lightfoot release would come out, or in conjuntion with a big concert in the city. I spent lots of time and money up there on the 2nd floor engaged in wishing I could buy the folk, bluegrass, blues and jazz records. I lined up like a jerk on Boxing day to get a few folk imports at half price. You go look in those sections in awe at what there is in there - stuff that no other record store in T.O. will handle I'm afraid, unless it's special ordered. (They even sold my CD'S on a dislplay rack). Go in to other big record stores, and the selection of folk and bluegrass for the most part is pathetic in my opinion, and the staff has no idea about these genres. I'm one of Rick's Nerds I happily admit.
