Record store owner Chris Guttmacher grew up on music, but not the kind that predominates in his colorful shop, The Plastic Pancake, which opened in September on Valencia Street. "My parents were both classical musicians," he said. "It sort of ruined it for me." They weren't performers - his father was a psychiatrist and his mother worked at home - but the 59-year-old small business owner got sick of the classical music they constantly played in their home in Brookline, MA.
