Still saddened by the sudden demise of the Record Revolution in Dekalb, Illinois. Just one more thing modern times is taking from me.
However, back in April, we celebrated National Record Store Day, and I was able to go to the great mom and pop store in Springfield, Illinois, Recycled Records.
The website also had a list of mom and pop records stores by state. I noticed, however, that Record Revolution and Recycled Records weren't on it.
Here are some of the Illinois and Wisconsin places:
Illinois
Des Plaines-- Algonquin Records
East Peoria--Co-Op Records
Geneva-- Kiss the Sky
Moline-- Co-Op Records
Normal-- Waiting Room Records
Carbondale-- P-Mac
Addison-- Platterpus Records
Barrington-- Rainbow Records
Norridge-- Rolling Stone Records
Mt. Prospect-- Sunshine Daydream Jam Band and Hippie Shop
Rockford-- Toad Hall
O'Fallon, Alton, and Glen Carbon-- Slackers
Wisconsin
There are eight Exclusive Record stores. I always go to the Exclusive in Oshkosh when visiting.
Quite a few interesting names with these stores.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
