Great tribute to Sam Sniderman. I must have walked into that store 100's of times over the years back in the day-.I remember Sam near the front door greeting customers sometimes. Yes, he front racked Canadian artists next to the big label artists like Hendrix and The Doors. He had Rush's albums on the most visible racks when they were released, and many ther Canadian artist recored and some in store performances. I was there the last few days they were open although not at the auction itself. Sam's got some great import vinyl.
Funny. We don't call ourselves Easterners. We tend to think we are central Canada. But, you go ahead and think what you want to think of us and yourself.
