And I.

Am happy.

My name is Dina Taylor and I'm one of the owners of Jammin Nuggets music.

Jammin Nuggets Music is a locally owned and operated independent record s.. We sell records, new and used.

We also sell CDs, cassettes, 40 fives, cleaning supplies.

We do music premiere parties whenever a new album is released.

We have a subscription box service, so we pick a different album every month and then send them out to the people that have subscribed.

We also host a record show once a year.

We had our first one this year.

I do a music appreciation for kids that come in.

I will ask them about different artists and things that they might maybe not know about, and have them do a little research and come back in.

We do special orders, pretty muc I am James Harmon, co-owner of Jimmy Nugget Music.

It started out as a joke.

my first name being James was where the jammin came from.

our stepson, he had a nickname we used to call him nugget.

And so it just started as a joke.

I just named him Nugget Music.

And then the more I heard it, the more I said it, the more it's like it actually sounds kind of nice.

And so it stuck.

Hello.

I'm, J..

I'm an employee partner here at Jammin Nuggets.

Jimmy.

Nuggets.

Music to me is..

I was a customer.

I traveled all over collecting records.

Personally, I make the travel in because it's one of the best stores around.

It's a great hobby.

I mean, for as much or as little mo.. You want a $5 record?

We guarantee we could find you something great.

If you want a $500 record, we can order that too.

Having a store like this brings that connection.

I feel connected to the music.

I know, you know, you buy a record, you take it home, you play it.

You wonder like, who else has owned that record before?

You know, maybe that was somebody's favorite record.

Maybe it wasn't.

But it makes you wonder and think you feel a part of something.

My history in music goes back to my childhood.

my dad, Delbert, was one of the original bald members in Branson before they set up their theater down there.

He played the fiddle for them.

Everybody in my family is musical.

I was running sound boards for them whenever they had shows and things like that.

We had music all the time.

When I was growing up.

We started buying collections and next thing I know, our garage was full by a pop up turn that was full.

people were like, they'd watched us open a record store and it started as a joke.

And I'm like, well, yeah, maybe when I retire.

And then, well, the opportunity came by a little faster.

And so we opened a record store.

The music that I'm interested in really varies depending on the mood that I'm in.

I might listen to some hip hop on the way into work.

I might listen to Rage Metal if I'm frustrated.

country ballads, Americana, reggae.

I don't really have a genre that I don't like.

It really just depends on the mood, because that's the whole point of music.

It's.

It's there for every mood and every emotion.

Music is life.

I mean, it fits any mood situation.

It's just life, you know, you wake up to it, you can go to sleep to it, you can work to it, you can drive to it.

Just chill out to it.

It's almost as important as air and water.

Music means a lot.

There's music for every situation.

If you're happy, there's happy music.

Sad, good mood, bad mood.

I mean music for if you're hungry, music if you're sleepy.

I mean, there's just something for everyone.

I mean, no matter what you're thinking or what you're feeling, there's a song out there for it.

My thoughts on people getting back into vinyl records is that they're looking for a connection to the past.

Whenever I was younger, we had a huge console that had the TV in an eight track player and a record player, and that's what we listened to.

We would put stacks of 45 on or we'd put stacks of albums on and we would listen to music.

We didn't watch a lot of TV.

It was more about creating memories together.

We would always be singing and listening to music, and my dad would be playing along with his steel, trying to figure out what chords he neede..

So I think that there's a connection to that, that nostalgia for the emotions that music brings, which is really the whole purpose.

I think as long as you're exploring music, it's not a bad thing.

And there's stuff that we have that you just don't find on streaming.

It's really sad because, you know, so many people are prone to just, oh, let's go to Spotify, let's go to a YouTube.

A lot of stuff's not on there, and you just really have to dig for that more obscure stuff to really to enjoy it.

I hope for the future of jam and nu.. that we can expand, that we can get a bigger location, something where we can have not necessarily better, but bigger events.

right now we host bands occasionally and they get to play and get their music out there.

but it would be nice to have a dedicated stage area where they can come in.

We can have them more often.

Okay.

And eventually like to get us.. where we have a coffee shop in here.

Other than that, just to continue on for as long as we can.

Get in here and get to talking to James or Dina or whoever, I mean, it's just even talking to customers.

It's just fun and friendly is how I describe jammin nuggets music.

Jam nuggets music is located at 115 South Ohio Avenue in Sedalia.

Come find us on Facebook Instagram.

The best way would be just to come on by, but you can always call James or me here at the store.

we'll get you taken care of.
