Re: [ARSCLIST] Asperger's Syndrome (was How Vinyl Record
You know,I have gotten similar comments,from my mother,about how this is going to happen to me.Living with a noncollector,is not always a happy experience.In spite of the fact,my collection,is much smaller than it was a few years ago.I got rid of all my jazz.I lost all interest in it,and needed to make room.It wasn't easy to sell it off.Blue Notes,and early Prestiges,aside,the jazz market has moved in inverse proportion,to that of the classical market.

this is probably the email equiv of peeing in the wind, but I think there's a difference between a
true collector and an accumulator. The guy with thousands of records acquired indescriminately and
stacked willy-nilly in a wet basement is not preserving or indeed able to enjoy any of that. The
person who buys carefully, takes care of his perhaps much smaller collection and stores them
properly is able to get constant enjoyment, know what he has and perhaps pass it all on to his
offspring or a collection or library. The other guy, he'll die when a big pile falls on him or his
cat knocks a pile onto him and once his body gets discovered a month later, the house will need to
be dynamited because it's a health hazard! Ok, well maybe not that grim -- but close.
