My WPLN story about Tower Records aired this morning. You can stream it by listening HERE. Got a nice note from musician/producer Frosty Horton about it with memories of his own. "It’s hard to explain to so many why (Tower's) demise is so personally painful," he writes. Check out the rest after the jump...
FROM FROSTY:
"When I moved from my home town of New Orleans to Los Angeles to pursue a music career in the mid 70’s, Tower Sunset became my refuge and sanctuary. I would leave my little house in Laurel Canyon and say to whoever was there, “Going to Mecca”. They knew where I’d be. I was playing in a well-known local rock band at the time and every day people from other bands I knew were there, Brit bands coming through on tour (it was, after all, just down the Strip from The Roxy, The Whiskey and The Rainbow Bar) and hordes of wanna-be’s with records – later CDs - under their arms.
"When my wife and I moved here in 1994, I gave among reasons that Nashville had a Tower store, it couldn’t be as hick as all my L.A. friends thought, right?
"So thanks again – and Russ Solomon/Tower, Thanks for the memories. There’s been a death in the family."
