“My interactions with the ‘higher ups’ after I moved to Annapolis largely consisted of [them saying] ‘When are you going to stop doing this?’ and me saying ‘You hired me to do the job, either fire me or shut the hell up ’ ”
Scott Edward Phelps had an interesting journey at Tower Records. Moving to Nashville with his bandmates to strike out for a career in music, Scott concentrated on songwriting when half the band left Nashville when fame and fortune didn’t materialize. Though Scott had songs recorded and released, he always had a day gig somewhere.
Scott was hired at the Nashville store by Tom Rule to work nights initially. Several years older than the average Tower Records employee, Scott worked his way up as a Supervisor and then became the Record Sales Manager. In Nashville, every day seemed like an adventure based on who was going to stop in the store. Later, Scott applied for and got the position of General Manager of Tower Records Annapolis.
