HOUSTON – Happy Record Store Day, y’all!
Some say it’s Christmas for music lovers who are loyal to vintage vinyl discs.

Typically held on the third Saturday of April, the holiday strives to recognize over a thousand record stores in the U.S., including here in Houston.
Not only that, many musical artists such as Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, and Madonna are releasing special-edition vinyl albums only sold in record stores, according to USA Today.
Founded in 2007 by independent record store owners, it became a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture of record stores. You can read more on the history here.
