“Tone up your life with music”

カリフォルニア、トーランス市ダウンタウンにあったレコード店の名前。(現在はSan Pedroに移転)。
25年前に駐在した米国子会社は赤字続き、つたない英語で疲れ果てた心身を癒してくれたのは金曜仕事帰りのジャズレコード漁り。
オリジナル版を財布と相談しつつ買い集めました。
コロナ前にオーナーのErvingさんに15年ぶりに再会。
私のことをよく覚えてくれており、ミュージックバーの計画を喜んでくれるとともに、名前の使用を許可いただきました。
P.M.SOUNDS means night time music.

P.M.SOUNDS is the name of a record store that was located in downtown Torrance, California (now relocated to San Pedro).
25 years ago, during my assignment, the subsidiary in the U.S.
I worked for was running in the red, and while struggling with my limited English skills, I found solace in hunting for jazz records on Friday evenings after work.
Considering whether I can afford it, I searched for the original editions and gradually built up my collection.

Before the pandemic, fortunately I had a reunion with the owner, Erving, after 15 years.
He remembered me well and not only expressed his delight in hearing about my plans for this music bar but also granted permission to use the name of the store.
