I have to say, it surprised me, and maybe will surprise a few of you, too, to learn that you can still get new records from current artists. Who knew? Brittany Spears, Fall Out Boys, Blake Shelton, John Mayer, Kelly Clarkson, Dido, OutKast…I couldn’t believe it.

Picking through the new records, I couldn’t believe how many current names were available. I mean, I have fond memories of listening to my parents’ old 45s and LPs. It’s where I learned about those classic older songs. They sure had a mix of music and I love it all. I had no idea that those records, and new ones, were still out and for sale. I love that.

I had no idea records were still produced. If they’ve been made, they are probably here.  There are thousands of records inside Hi Fi Stereo Shop. That’s what happens when you have been in business since the late 1960s. You end up with a lot of stock and a whole lot of know-how.

If you pop in and Tom, owner Helen’s son, happens to be around, go shake his hand, and tell him “thanks!” He kindly took oodles of time out of his day and gave Little Indiana the grand tour of Fairmount–and my subsequent articles about the town will be the better for it. No record player? No problem. I did see a few in stock–so get in there and experience music the way it was meant to be.

Small Towns: Destinations, not Drive-Thrus! I’m Jessica Nunemaker and THIS is Little Indiana.
