Walk On By (Isaac Hayes)


One of the defining moments of my life came in the fall of 1987. During one of my regular visits to Vinyl Fever - Tallahassee's finest record store (does anyone remember record stores?) - I picked up copies of "The Best of Isaac Hayes" (a double album on Stax) and the Smith's compilation album "Louder Than Bombs." But I only had enough money to buy one. I left the store with Isaac Hayes in hand. As the poet said, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
