Getting High With Alex Chilton In Tuscaloosa

   You have no doubt heard stories from people who have been in Tuscaloosa a long time about how great the music scene was here "back then". You should listen to them, most of the time they are just not drunk weaving a web of lies (most of the time). One of those "back then" times was the late '80s an early '90s.
Friend of the show, David Smith found this today. It is well worth the read. A group of amazing people from Tuscaloosa's past are part of this article. Some of them still wind up out and about in Tuscaloosa after dark. I know I have seen them.
So take a few minutes to check out Rob Trucks' (a former Tuscaloosian) article - Getting High With Alex Chilton In Tuscaloosa, 1986-1990: An Oral History.
If you find you want to know more Tuscaloosa's musical past, check out the facebook fan page - Vinyl Solution - Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This is the former recored store on the Strip that was owned by George Hadjidakis, who is quoted in the article. There are tons of great pictures and disscusions from this "back then" time.
If you want to see a pice of this history, walk into Egans. Just inside the door to your left the original Vinyl Solution sign is on the wall.
