<<Mine would be a guy named Todd that used to own "Roadrunner Records"
in Minneapolis. Terrific guy, always shared his knowledge/thoughts of
music if you asked. I think he also worked at Penney Lane in Madison, WI
at the same time while I was in school there (and while I was working at
Wazoo Records). Both are now long gone. Anyway, Todd sold the store
years ago, the current owner of Roadrunner seems great too, I just don't
make it to that store as often, per my moving many years ago.>>
Count me in as an ex-Minneapolitan too, and just this morning I was
wondering if Roadrunner was still open. I think John Beggs (from Garage
D'Or) bought it when Todd sold and moved. Todd really was great. As
was/is Mark Trehus (Oar Folkjokeopus, still open as Treehouse Records)
and Terry Katzman (Garage D'Or). Hard to beat shopping for records
around the Twin Towns, even up to a few years ago.
