[The guy working looks excited to talk about something he's interested in, and grins as he chuckles and gives a low whistle.]

[A hand is held up, and he vanishes off to a back room. He comes out a minute later with a wooden crate of records. The Phantom Riders aren't the only band represented in there, but there's plenty of albums, including a couple Chrissy's never seen before. The guy working pushes the crate toward Johnnie to let him flip through it, and eyes him a little more closely.]
