B-N music lover opens record store
By Ryan Denham
BLOOMINGTON -- A Twin City man's lifelong passion for collecting music has led him to open a record store specializing in the resurgent market for vinyl albums.
Reverberation Vinyl, 1302 N. Main St., had its grand opening Saturday, said owner John Anderson of Normal. The store specializes in selling new and used LPs, 45s and other formats. It also buys and offers trade credit on record collections and vintage audio equipment such as turntables and eight-track tapes.
Anderson, 38, said he has been buying and trading music since he was a teenager, with his personal passion psychedelic rock. In the digital age, he said the lure of vinyl is its distinctive "three-dimensional" sound.
"With an LP, it's a physical diamond needle digging into the groove of a record," Anderson said. "It's more of a soulful experience."

and in music history for today:
In 1958, Bobby Darin released the single, “Splish Splash.” The song was co-written by New York City DJ Murray the K’s mother, Jean Kaufman (credited as Jean Murray), who suggested the song’s opening line and title. The song went to #3 on the U.S. charts. It was released as the first eight-track master recording pressed to a plastic 45-RPM disc.
Also in 1958, Ritchie Valens records the self-penned "Come On, Let's Go" for Del-Fi Records in Los Angeles. The song would peak at #42 on the Billboard singles chart the following October.
In 1960, Alan Freed and seven others were indicted for accepting money from six record companies in exchange for air play.
In 1960, the Drifters recorded "Save The Last Dance For Me", which will top the US chart the following October.
In 1965, FBI agents visit Wand Records to investigate the lyrics to "Louie Louie" by The Kingsmen. They would eventually release a statement that said that it was impossible to exactly decipher the lyrics from "the unintelligible rendition as performed by The Kingsmen."
In 1967, the Beatles had a party at Brian Epstein's house to launch Sgt. Pepper.
In 1969, Coleman Hawkins, one of the most influential saxophonists in the history of jazz, died of pneumonia at the age of 64.
In 1973, Paul Simon released the single, “Kodachrome,” which became a hit in the U.S., but was banned from airplay in the U.K. because it contained a brand name.
In 1978, Dire Straits released their first major label single, “Sultans of Swing.”
In 1979, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Mick Jagger jammed together at a party at Clapton's home to celebrate his marriage to Patty Boyd. and no one recorded any of this??
In 1989, Ron Wilson, The Surfaris' drummer who recorded Rock and Roll's most influential drum solo, "Wipe Out", died of a brain aneurysm at the age of 49.
birthdays today include Pete Townshend (Who) (66), Phil Rudd (AC/DC) (57) and Dusty Hill (ZZ Top) (62); among many others
