You’ve already seen the faces that populate Chris Cuffaro’s “Greatest Hits” photo exhibit — they’re some of the most famous musicians of the last few decades — but it's probably been a while since you've seen them so young. The exhibit, which initially opened at Gibson Brands on Sunset (where Tower Records used to be), moved down the boulevard to the Mr. MusicHead Gallery, where it will remain at least through the end of March. For more on Cuffaro and his work, check out Josh Chesler's story.
