Reply to comment by redditdeigy in When music stores were way more prominent, did you ever just ask an employee for a random recommendation that ended up blowing your mind? What did they recommend? by duomtl

I bought a Jaco pastorius cd at NRM. The long haired clerk asked me if I heard weather report. I said “idk I think it’s going to be nice the next few days but maybe rain this weekend”. I realized my mistake about 1 week later and I have been reliving that encounter daily for the past 20 years.

For me it was when they were virtually unknown. Id just bought a component stereo and I asked the owner what was cool and he recommended them. Stellar musicians
