retract your claws JCC. I wasn't the only one who thought the way I did about your article. I'm sure a minimum effort of checking your Roledex would have given you the names of many hip and questionably hip people who would have gladly provided more insight to the history and workings of Natural Sound.
Thank you for at least getting the word out.

Paul and all the many Natural Sound employees have done more to help create and foster much of what is now reconized as the "local music scene" more than too many people realize. Although I too am disapointed at the lack of depth of this "eulogy", I'm not surprised. After all, the author has consistantly appeared more interested in sounding hip, than actually digging into a story with much real passion.
Next To The Pawn Shop.. [ Tue Nov 29 2011 2:56 PM ]
..back in the early 1970's, (late 1960's) was a place called the Spoofer Shop. It was one of the first head shops around (along with Roach Ranch West and Gold Street Cirsus Records) that 'hood. Might of been one of the first in the state. You'd have to ask an old hippie to be sure. And the precurser to the Living Batch Bookstore (some name with the word Grasshopper in it) was in another of those store fronts before Frontier bought them all up.
some of my associates (and myself) rid a DownTown home of pigeons with a pistol-style crossbow* and some homemade pigeon stickers. Kind of brutal, but the rest of the flock got the hint fairly quickly.
