Chaos speaks on Customer service

It was a lazy Saturday afternoon, as i was doing my usual channel surfing, i stopped at VH1, where Eric "God" Clapton was giving an interview, promoting his new album with JJ Cale. I had never heard of that album or of JJ Cale, i was in no mood to get the finer details of the album until i heard Clapton saying some nice words about Cale:

...All through my life, i have produced various albums but none of them sounded like a 'JJ Cale' album and the best way to fulfill my desire is to co-produce an album with JJ cale, before i go under the ground. So i called up JJ Cale and asked him whether he is interested in producing an album
with me....

That evening, i decided to visit "Calypso", a Music store nearby my place to check it out. As i walked into the store, a guy wearing a bright "Calypso" t-shirt, walked up to me and greeted me(Lets call him DJ, the store sales man). I knew it was coming and promptly told DJ that i had nothing specific in my mind and i might not buy anything at all. He persisted and was showing me some good deals on some compilations. The moment i saw a Joe Satriani Definitive collection, the devil in me woke up and swallowed the part of my brain that said "Nay!". As i picked up that album and moved towards the billing section, DJ stopped me and said there are couple of other guitar artistes that i might like to try out. Then i remembered about this interview that i watched that afternoon and asked him for "that Cole album".

Then i had the shock of the day! DJ asked me whether i was talking about the "The Road to Escondido" by Eric Clapton and JJ Cale. I replied "Yes, but who is this Cale guy?". Then he gave me a 5 minute sermon on JJ Cale, his reclusive lifestyle and the kind of music that he plays. He even told me that Clapton's "Cocaine" is a cover of Cale! Well, never in my life had i received such useful information from a music store fella! I listened to all this with awe and promptly picked up the CD.He even suggested me a couple of other artistes which he thought i might like(like Neil Young, Knopfler etc, which might be partially true) but as my bank balance figure crossed my mind, i teleported myself to the billing counter.

This was a shoping experience i really cherished. Having a person in the store, who really knows what he is selling definetely helps. Now i know where to go for some good Music purchase!
