Record Conventions

Being a avid music enthusiast and especially one that likes records, I have no problem digging through large numbers of  Barbra Streisand and Country albums to find music I actually like.My passions are Soul, Funk, Rock, Jazz, and related genres for that matter. This past Sunday the sixth quarterly Springfield Comics and Records convention came to town. Its an interesting opportunity for  record addict in me. Record dealers and collectors come from all over the Midwest come to make some money off their old nostalgic hobby. Since records are so representative of the region and time period they are originally purchased, this can lead to the possibility of finding records not usually available in certain areas. This particular areas records revolve around a lot folk, country, and classic rock genres for instance. Every so often, dealers and collectors get a box from the east or west coast lands of vinyl, which offer a wider variety of genres and time periods of music.
