Foo Howser stands in front of the Sounds of Music record shop holding a vinyl copy of “Brenton Wood’s 18 Best”
Sounds of Music is an East L.A. institution that’s in danger of closing. If you haven’t been in a while or have never stepped inside, now is the time. Stop by and grab a record, shirt, CD, or poster. I picked up a copy of “Brenton Wood’s 18 Best” on vinyl—what are you picking up?
Thank you!!!🙏🏽

13 years ago today, we lost the GOAT Huell Howser.
He taught us to find wonder in the everyday and to listen and learn with genuine curiosity.
Thank you Huell. You’re deeply missed.
