By the way, the logo at the top of this page belongs to Top Ten Records, the oldest record store in Dallas, TX (incidentally, Top Ten has a bit part in the story of John F. Kennedy's assassination). They're trying to turn themselves into a non-profit media archive right now with an Indiegogo campaign.
