The birth of Waterproof Records
When my oldest son was around four-years-old, I told him that someday I wanted to own my own record store. As he played in the bathtub, we pondered what we could call this future family music shop as he dunked an old blank CD he found in the water. At his age, he thought that this disc was also called a 'record.' My son looked up as he brought this mirrored disc through mountain of bubble suds and said, "call it Waterproof Records!" It was the perfect name. I could see the sign in my head of a vinyl record like a setting sun over water. Once I dried him off, we went into his room and drew the sign and brought out some of my old vinyl records and presented them around the room like it was our opening day ( still have the pictures). A decade later when I started the podcast in 2021, my now teenage son drew the logo for me.
