Todays’s post concept is the work of our devoted participant Linda Freedman. She discovered one of the other Bop Shops that exist on the planet advancing the cause of the musical arts. Not by way of advertising but rather through providing musical resources to encourage people to strive and create, The Bop Shop UK sounds like a singular artistic ball of fire for its users. Also acknowledged, a long standing record shop in Rochester, N.Y. See below. And then there’s Cindy Lauper & Captain Beefheart clowning about our relationships with the woe/bop axis!
