wow from sunny florida to cold ass alaska, what a change….
oh well, thanx for any info…..

Well, afraid I don’t know anything about Fairbanks, it’s been years since I’ve made it up there. Admittedly, haven’t been in any hurry…

Down here in Anchorage, about the best place to find anything is at Mammoth Music. They’ve got two locations for new cd’s/tapes, one musical instrument store, and one used-cd store. Always have a good selection, and can generally get ton’s of imports and rare stuff that can be hard to get anywhere else. Apparently companies think Alaska’s so out of it, they all send their stuff to us, so we get more than other places can. Not a bad setup…. I don’t know quite how this site is doing, it was seriously under construction last time I checked, but they’re working on putting up a WWW site…try:

…and see what you get.
