The Kansas City Star’s Back to Rockville blog is reporting that Anne Winter passed away yesterday.
She is best-known as the co-owner of Recycled Sounds on Main, which outlasted many other record stores here in the city before finally closing in 2006. I can remember seeing her in there from the mid-90’s, when we’d first start venturing out of the little podunk town I grew up in, all the way up to and until the store closed. I remember her being tall.
I also remember buying Fugazi tickets for Gee Coffee from her at the store.
It’s already going to be a cold weekend in town . . . I have a feeling it just got a little gloomier for a whole lot of people.
Anne was a pillar of the music and art scene in Kansas City. She is leaving behind a husband, Kurt and their two children. A gathering was planned at 7:30 Friday evening at the Rime Buddhist Center in Kansas City.
A visitation is scheduled from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday and a service at 1 p.m. Tuesday, both at the Muehlebach Funeral Home, 6800 Troost.
