    V! This was an EPIC trip for me Vance. My wife and I went on cheap airline tickets originally purchased in March, and stayed with friends. We hit Red Rocks during the day, Garden of the gods, and the foothills of Estes. I also hung out with my brother who lives there...it was my wife's first visit. Got to visit a couple of stores in Springs, Castle Rock, and the famous Twist & Shout in Denver (kinda like a "smaller" version of Amoeba) but the highlight was Black & Read. Mikey's personality, music from the cover band Been Caught Stealing, and aerial video, all made this one of the best videos in this series to date! Thank you for being here since the first record stores across America video! ~Corey

I had to hold the camera out with my arm partially extended to get the video. No time to get video during my trip. The aerial video and music was contributed from free sources. This was a blast to edit and I was super excited to share it! Cheers ~Corey

    Haha! Right Jon on point for the one liner needed to kick off the video! The song selection had to be Rock and Roll because it had been 9+ months (been a long time) that I made a RSAA video, and seen my brother in person (also a very long time 14 years long). Jon was rockin' the right tee and his band did a great job with the cover song so it all came together nicely. Did you notice the drum intro was too long? I had to double it to make sure the riff kicked in when the graphics started.

    So, Rob there are a couple Easter eggs in this video I'll share with you. First, my brother makes a cameo! He's the guy walking into the shop during the into, talking in the shop (yellow plaid shirt and hat) next to Jon, and the little "blooper" clip at the end. Second, Jon from the KZread channel Jon's Record Rack is in the beginning and in some of the shots. In addition, Jon plays guitar in the band Been Caught Stealing, so he's laying down a lot of the guitar work you hear along-side his band. I was a guest at Jon's home for our stay in Denver. We had an epic time with friends family and music. Third, the close up of Horace Silver Trio Japanese pressing with the gold "From the Personal Collection of Danny Graul"? That is one of the few records that have been permitted to sell from the late owner's collection (it had to be purchased by the store and hasn't been placed in inventory yet). Well, I bought that record and proudly have it in my collection now. I listened to it last night and it's a SMOKER! I will keep that record to accompany my visit and experience at Black & Read. Cheers ~Corey
