Record and Tape was "the" local record store chain in Maryland. Unfortunately—and like most other music retailers—they began disappearing.
But one remains...and I got to do this in it:
I was invited by Sam Silverman, a Record and Tape employee and someone I would bet money on succeeding in the music business.
This would be my first time drumming in any type of business and was intrigued at the idea of creating a "break-out" musical experience while customers enter unaware.
We drummed surrounded by vinyl records; the most perfect spot in the store. I sat facing the entrance, watching as each entering face lit up in confusion and excitement.
I led the group through different rhythm activities meant to be fun, relaxing and community-building.
Mission accomplished.
