Last weekend I and my brother decided to visit The scratch - the Vinyls music store, located not too far, some 20 km from my living place, store. The location of The Scratch (hasrita in Hebrew) is located in one of the beautiful kibbutzes in the central part of the country. My brother knows them very well the owner due to their love of both listening to music on Vinyl. The small store mostly presented psychedelic music from the 60s and 70s but also close to this music "direction" genres - Alternative rock, Progressive rock, Krautrock, and others mostly from US, UK, Germany but also from Chile, Argentina, Mexica, and many other places. Also, there is a very rich collection of the local musicians of this colorful period of time and as well as many modern musicians.
We got very tasty black coffee and homemade cookies made from sesame, plus unforgettable conversation about everything actual, but sure mostly about the future of music.
My brother stopped buying Vynils for his collection about two years ago just because of the feeling of superfluity. So this evening he was excited as never - you can see him smiling like a kid in one of my images posted below.
The Skratch store manager is one of the known here Radio Broadcasters. I'm a huge admirer of his weekly 2 hours radio show "The smell of Vynil" The show is very informative and rich with the 60s-70s psychedelic rock songs. The unhurried texts between songs are about the band's history, members, and the difficulties to write music and record albums that they faced.
Some photographs from the place :
The entrance is very welcoming - most of the night discussions and conversations take place there.

And the happy one:
And some words and the blues sounds about the nature jam I attended this weekend as well. When we left in the night the only last 4 in the gathering location, these guys spontaneously played
this new for them melody, which I recorded with my Ricoh GRii camera and published on my Youtube channel.
