A Visit To Rock-It-Man

Many times over the last three years going to Flagstaff has been a disappointment. When I found Hastings there it did help a lot. They have a decent assortment of music and many, many other things.

A week ago I learned that Saturday April 17 was Record Store Day and through it I found that there was an independent record store in Flagstaff. When I was off on Friday we headed to Flagstaff and I paid my first visit to Rock-It-Man.

I must confess that finding the store was not hard but finding a parking space was. The store is located in the historical area of Flag. I ended up parking a few blocks away. It was a short brisk walk from my parking spot to the store. Not knowing much about the store and not knowing what it was like, I was concerned that I would be disappointed.

I did not see the store right away. The store is slightly hidden by a canopy. The dead give away was the flyers and posters on the door and in the window.

I walked in and all I saw was rows and rows of music. Oh man! Any apprehension disappeared as I began to roam through the store and browse through the selection of music.

For a town the size of Flagstaff I was really surprised how much music this store had. What also surprised me was the amount of business this store had coming through the door!
The picture above is of the manager (?) or owner (?). I did not get his name or "title" but he was very helpful to not just me but also every person that came through the door.

My first visit to Rock-It-Man will not be my last. Lots of good music both on cd and on vinyl. Next time you are in Flagstaff AZ, make sure you visit Rock-It-Man. Going to Flagstaff has just gotten better.
