BIRDSKIN creamer and roads

.
i was 16 when i discovered, by pure coincidence, the Normal record store, in the northern old town of bonn. riding by bike through the city, trying to catch every street.
from that day, i spent nearly every afternoon after high school there.

the store's showcase was no larger than 2 meter, maybe less - the whole store had a tubular form.
it was relatively dark and moisty inside, during winter there was an antique gas heater near the entrance to warm up the regulars who spent most of the day drinking beer and talking rubbish.

suspiciously eyeballing every single person that went into the store to eventually buy a record, they quickly became a second family to me.

i must have been a precocious weirdo for them.

this is were i got to know my three elective older brothers - F.,O. and S.


listen.
