Obituary Friday





My brother alerted me this morning to this obituary of Tony Kostrzewa, founder of Red Rhino Records. Originally a record store in York, my home town, it then became a fairly well-respected record label. Apparently he helped put both of these bands on the map, which is an achievement in itself. I spent many a happy hour perusing the racks in Red Rhino as a lad, and its nice to see this obituary in a national newspaper, particularly as it seems as much an obit of the store, as the owner.
