Michael Fremer drops the needle in Seattle – Sidewalk record scores – Comparison of SAT pickup arms

Michael Fremer was the guest host at Seattle’s Rainier Club, where we dropped the needle for a fun-filled evening. Michael presented a cross-country musical theme using artists’ origins, beginning in New York and ending in the Pacific Northwest.

The journey continued the following day with a visit to the Hendrix Memorial in Renton, WA, sidewalk record finds at West Seattle’s Easy Street Records, and a second listening event using a suite of SAT pick-up arms.

Many thanks to Michael Fremer and to all who supported the event!
