An early '80s memory: I was in the library's audio-visual department flipping through records when I heard a woman tell one of the librarians, "I'm here to pick up some records for my grandson. He wants to hear Black Sabbath and AC/DC."
"That's an unusual sentence to hear from someone in her eighties," I thought. I then checked out my jazz artists LP compilation, featuring Sonny Rollins, Jack Teagarden, and Bix Beiderbecke, "Man And Molecules" science radio series tapes, and an assortment of "The Shadow" radio shows...
...Standard fare for a 12-year-old patron, of course...
