A Visit to Jerry's Records In Pittsburgh, PA June 11, 2023

I'm in Pittsburgh to visit Iron Mountain outside of Pittsburgh where I and you will get tour Universal Music Group's vaults. It should be great! But as long as I am here and so is Jerry's Records, why not do both? My host, Marc Finer of Communications Research decades ago was my nemesis, and he mine because he was promoting the rise of the compact disc. And now? We go record shopping together. How great is that? What's not great is that accidentally the microphone ended up in my pocket so the sound is pretty meh. In fact, I narrated the first part and canned the recorded sound, but when the new owner of Jerry's, Chris arrived, I turned the sound back on. Please do not complain about the lousy sound. I can't hear you! I first heard about Jerry's from my friend Jacob Heilbrunn who writes for The Absolute Sound and grew up in Pittsburgh. Glad I finally made it, but sorry I didn't get to meet Jerry, who passed away within the last few years.
