“...the 400-square foot shop is chockablock with a steady stream of buyers and sellers, teens and retirees or Deadheads on lunchbreak as Miller grades records on turntable, be it Pink Floyd, Carla Bley, Jerry Reed or who knows what. The joint was once a barber shop, and Miller likes the thought of continuing the community conversation tradition of such places... He prefers the old-style ‘pal-gorithm’ system of inductive musical shopping suggestions for more personalized and adventurous recommendations.”
