3/18/09 'In Sessions' with Barrence Whitfield takes us on a tour
to one of his favorite places; the Record Exchange in Salem MA.
IN the Witch city you can find one of the first vintage record stores founded in 1974
you can find rare Beatles to the latest U2. Record collectors from around the globe
have stopped by to visit this tiny gem of a place.
So if you are ever in the Witch City stop on by you might even find
Mr. Whitfield himself spinning vintage oldies behind the counter
(background music, although GREAT, is a bit louder than we would have liked..
but the video is still worth checking out!)
