Sorry about the pun, but for the record...in the North Bay, there is no Earthwaves records in Cotati, and Vinyl Planet is no longer, but there is a newish record store in north Petaluma (forget the name), and there is also the longstanding Last Record Store in Santa Rosa.
Thrift stores are great, but finding jazz is always a problem--damn jazz lover's coveting/collecting

not so for classical, rock, etc.
Always a cheap thrill to find stuff....
