Hi Glory,
I lived in Ft. Walton Beach for over 4 years. You need to get in touch with Tom Tutay for some of your audio
needs. You most likely already know him. I didn't spend much time in Destin because we had 5 hurricanes in 4 years but in Ft. Walton beach there use to be a record store. Tom may have some insight. There are at least 4 thrift stores in FTWB which I scored there many times and then you have the flea markets on Rt. 198 headed towards
Pensacola. I hope it's still there. It's called the Barnyard. I scored many great jazz pieces out there. And there are several other places on Rt. 198 that sell LP's. I once picked up a dozen Opus3 Lp's in one store. When I got there in 1995 I had over 3000 Lp's. Now roughly about 4500 maybe more.
I purchase LP's from the places I mentioned like wdcdradio and ebay. I have a friend in Colorado that is a major record dealer. I normally trade copies of classical for jazz with him.
We don't have any shows here in Augusta, GA but Atlanta has at least 1 a year may a couple more. I'm not in that loop yet. I hate the traffic there. On Ebay check out Pappa Jazz in Columbia, South Carolina. And if you are in Tallahase on a given weekend check out the stores there. Almost every college town has record stores. Gainesville for sure and Jacksonville. Jacksonville has one of the biggest flea markets off I95 in the South East.
If you need to contact me via my personal email search for my audiogon name. I have some ads on there right now.
Happy Hunting
