Just heard the rather sad news that Footlight Records is closing its doors and becoming an Internet-only store. Once that happens, I think they will not be able to compete with other net stores, which offer much bigger discounts than Footlight. When I began that other label, I predicted that the handful of mom and pop specialty shops like Footlight would soon close their doors and go Internet - it took a bit longer than I thought, but it's happening now. I always liked Footlight, especially their employee Arnold, and the other owner besides Ron. Ron has always been peculiar to me - never know how to read the guy, and he was actually offensive when I was last in the store, and I haven't returned since.
