Vinyl record scores in the middle of nowhere
Forums:
I was recently in up up state NY in a little Adirondack town a couple miles from the Canadian border on a rainy day and stopped in a tiny little home garage turned antique store / junk shop to browse. This place was off the main road ( Rt 11) which parallels the border, in Amish farming country. Middle of nowhere. Potsdam is the closet "big" town and that's still a ride.
I can usually find something. A cool doorknob. Old tools. Old books. Sure enough they had a box of old albums. Picked up these 4 knowing we probably had copies of a couple of them already at home.
Ahhhhh......70s nostalgia.
Déjà Vu, is the second studio album by American folk rock group Crosby, Stills & Nash, and their first as a quartet with Neil Young. Artist: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Release date: March 11, 1970
Song for Juli is the fourth solo album by singer-songwriter and former Youngblood Jesse Colin Young. The album had a higher chart placing than any of the Youngbloods albums, and stayed on the charts longer than any other album he ever made. Artist: Jesse Colin Young Release date: September 1, 1973 [ Why is the album called Song for Juli when he seems to sing "Julia"?]
Over-Nite Sensation is the twelfth album by The Mothers of Invention, and the seventeenth album overall by Frank Zappa, released in September 1973. It was Zappa's first album released on his DiscReet label. Artists: Frank Zappa, The Mothers of Invention Release date: September 7, 1973 [ I was surprised, I thought it was released later than that.]
Borboletta is the sixth studio album by the American Latin rock band Santana. It is one of their jazz-funk-fusion oriented albums... Artist: Santana Release date: October 1974 [never owned this one before; it has some notable participants]
Also got this one after vaguely remembering reading something Jerry said about this band, which was an ever-changing cast of players, (perhaps in relation to the New Riders?):
$20 for all of them...she wanted 18 but neither of us had change...Dave, how'd I do?

Bss - I probably met some of your family at Moe's.... next to the Holiday inn Express in Malone. One of the only respectable places to eat and drink in that town besides Dairy Queen.
I got those records in a town between Norwood and Malone. Cold winters are right (followed by mud season and black fly season). Besides the fact that you can buy a 50 acre wooded farm with a farmhouse for $169K, why would anyone live there? You don't strike me as Amish, so maybe your brother* is a warden or a prison guard? Or a windmill installer? That's about it for decent jobs up there. Oh, and there is golfing...for some reason people come from all over to golf there. Something to do with the grass they can grow.
(* I'm not trying to be nosy -- maybe you've got relatives on the Reservation.)

Oh no, settled like - during the potato famine I mean. 1/8 of my ancestry. The ones who are left live in ogdensburg, I used to spend summers up there and in tupper lake sometimes. Can't say I miss it much, but I'll say the Amish do make some pretty good neighbors. The heck were you doing up there?

^ wife has relatives that go
^ wife has relatives that go back 100 + years and the family matriarch who lived there recently died at age 91. Since they couldn't bury her until the ground thawed, we missed the recent DelFest to go to funeral. She was cool and we enjoyed visiting over the years. I didn't mind driving up there -- 500 miles exactly door to door.

If the records are in good
If the records are in good shape, $18 was a kind offer, and $20 still a very fair deal.
