Seeing Michael Bradshaw's eyes light up when we enter the record store, I can't help but wonder if it's the same reaction he gets when he digs into the insurance laws in North Carolina. In this remnant of the past stuffed with vinyl records and music memorabilia, he's like the proverbial "kid in a candy store" - and at 3k years old, he really is a kid to most aged veterans in the collision repair industry. I watch as Bradshaw meanders through the uneven, creaky aisles, rifling through the albums while the classical tune "In the Hall of the Mountain King" blasts from the speakers of this tiny store that smells strongly of old cardboard and wet rot. Occasionally, I pull an album and regale Bradshaw with a memory it brings up; other times, he points out a bit of trivia about a band or singer. |
