He and Joe (the original owner) were great. Walking into that shop, one always discovered wonderful new music and intense conversation. It was a large part of my education.

Discophile record store owner dies
There is an obituary in today's New York Times.
"Franz Jolowicz, the owner of the former Discophile record shop, a Greenwich Village institution that was for decades a mecca for classical record collectors... died on Nov.8.
Writing in the New York Times shortly before Discophile closed, Tim Page called it 'possibly the finest record in the world.' "
Prior to reading the obit I never heard of the store, but it is certainly an interesting read.
