Reminds me of my own record store days in the 70s. My only in-stores were Smokey Robinson (a small riot ensued) and Dexter Gordon , who was charming and very cool. Customers? We didn’t call them chafes, but chafe they did.

He didn't perform in-store, but I got to ride in a cab with him. He's kinda low-key. But he's Smokey! This was when A Quiet Storm was released, and I was so star-struck...
