I remember accompanying Dad to a Hamilton Record Show, circa 1980, around the time he first began dealing in used vinyl records. He’s been buying and selling records in various ways ever since. For many years he hosted his own semi-annual Record Show and sale, first in Guelph, and later in Aberfoyle. And over the years he’s had retail outlets in several local towns including Elora, Fergus, Stratford and most recently, St. Jacobs.
Lynn chats about records at his Spring Tent Sale, 2010
Lynn has been conducting mail order record auctions throughout the year right from the start. And lately he’s held several Giant Tent Sales in spring and fall. But he’s talking about cutting out the record shows after this year, which means this Sunday may be his last ever record show as a vendor. Of course, cutting back will give him more time to devote to writing his book about Canadian Country Music.
