Gary Koenig had never aspired to own his own record shop. Yet, somehow, he ended up founding and running Affordable Music in Dillon for three decades. The former Henderson Mill employee clocked in around 15 years in the Grand County-based Molybdenum mine when a friend made a suggestion, “You like music so much, you should open a record store,” Koenig said, recalling a friend’s comment. Koenig said he didn’t need much convincing to pull the trigger.
