Tre's nothing worse than walking into a record store and being surrounded by chaos, especially if…read moreyou are in a hurry. There's a reason audiophiles alphabetize their collections. And yet most record stores in the region are the loveable, if not cluttered, result of someone's collecting gone out of control. At least that is how they look -- like an audio version of "Hoarders." Groovy Records, as the name implies, offers a chill atmosphere, friendly service and knowledgeable owners who obviously love their job. Best of all, everything is clearly categorized and easy to find without much assistance. They have a large selection, including highly collectible vinyl, in a wide assortment of formats and genres. Not seeing what you want? Proprietors Tom and Jerry will be happy to order it for you. Some items might be priced a bit higher than competitors', but so what? In that case, like Smokey Robinson says, better shop around. As for me, I am happy to pay a little extra to support a groovy little record store like this.

We typically spend about an hour or two in the store and leave spending about $30 on records. The location is very small, but they make good use of the space. Will definitely be back!

A friend recommended R&R Guitars, and I'm so glad I stopped by! I originally went in to inquire…read moreabout guitar lessons, but I ended up purchasing a beautiful used Ovation acoustic guitar. The shop is clean, well organized, and has a great selection of instruments and accessories. Greyson was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. As an experienced guitarist, he took the time to answer all my questions, offered excellent advice, and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Whether you're looking for a quality instrument, guitar lessons, or expert guidance, I highly recommend R&R Guitars. Thank you, Greyson, for your outstanding customer service!

I went to Guitar Center in Daytona for my birthday. My wife knew I wanted a new guitar, and told me…read moreto pick out what I wanted. I'm not proficient as it's just a hobby, but I've always liked Ovation guitars and saw a used electric-acoustic one for sale. We went to the front desk and didn't wait even 30 seconds before one of the clerks greeted us with a warm smile. He then answered a few questions and let me check out the guitar without any pressure. No updates, no silly offers for professional guitar care kits, straps, etc. He surprised me when he told me that the guitar came with a case! Albeit an older, beat-up one, but I was ecstatic about it, regardless. Anyway, the transaction went smoothly. We had an enjoyable discussion about music and guitars; the staff were very welcoming and professional - not just to us, but everyone. It was an enjoyable shopping experience and I'd totally make the drive to purchase from again.

Where Jimmy finds them I don't know, I just know that this place rivals any vintage place in the world. I've been to Gruhn's in Nashville numerous times, and to Dave's in LaCrosse, WI.

If you like old, rare, and vintage guitars at a fair price, I recommend them highly. I have bought more than 15 guitars from Jimmy. Mike Williams MikeWilliamsComedy.com
