You have the #1 independent music store
in Dallas and known around town as the Prince
of the Compilations, how did you do it? How
did you get in the Game?
George:I know the music.i saw other
guys with music stores across town. I was
a customerand i felt i could do the same thing.
So, I went for it. We were about the same
age so I felt like i would go for it . That
was back in '94.
A lot of folks know T-Town in Texas not
only for having all the rare underground music
but also for DSR(Dirty South Rydas). How did
that come about?
George:Promoting! Promotion is the
number one way tp get out there. You have
to have good marketing and know the right
people. We wanted with some other people as
far as promoting and whatever they promoted
we promoted twice as much.
