Digital music, such as iTunes, hasn't replace the good, ole record business.

In fact, a new business has just opened on Main Street in Ada that specializes in 33, 45, and 78 vinyl records as well as CDs and music collector cards.

For the past four years, the couple has been attending shows where they buy and sell records. Now, they have a store on Main in Ada and will be doing fewer shows, such as Indianapolis and Lansing, but will continue to attend more nearby shows on weekends.

They do not sell on the internet since they found that buyers want to hold the actual record and see its condition before purchasing.

The Smiths got into the business because they love music.

Have a favorite band or style of music? They probably have a record of it.

Looking for rare items? They have a first edition book autographed by all of the Metallica Band members as well as other collectible merchandise.

They invite all to stop by and check out their collection of reasonably priced records.
