TORONTONY Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I am sure many music lovers ,particularly, in the 1960'sl and into the 1970's will remember visiting Violet May's record shops.That lady could get you any record, deleted or not, I remember her most fondly, for her love of Jack Scott's records of whom I was also a big fan.Around my mid teens( early 60's) it was like a who's who of local musicians on a Saturday afternoon, ironically the lad who often went record shopping with me and drinking sometimes, became a bit of a celebrity himself, he changed his surname to Vern and sang with the Chequers. I lost touch with Ray around that time,but heard they were pretty good.Sorry for veering off topic with a little name dropping, believe me I could drop a lot more but have no wish to be crass. Anyway I am sure a lot of older posters will remember Violet and her shop(s) with much fondness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
