I’ve been taking some time off from posting here as I have another related project I need to finish.
The past few weeks have been memorable and miserable. Our basement took on water during the massive rainfall deluge one day recently. That was bad but then — possibly related although days apart — one of my shelfs collapsed. sending hundreds of albums crashing to the ground, which was covered by wet carpet from the aforementioned flood.
Miraculously, the other records landed on top of other records. And many had plastic over-sleeves.
The good news: minor water damage on three or four albums, nothing special was lost and it’s forcing me re-organize and make decisions about what to do with my slightly out of control collection, which I estimate is close to 750 now.
The culprit? Too many records, too much weight. So be careful now when you’re rearranging your storage system or display system. Records are heavy.
Meanwhile, keep checking this blog, read some of the older pieces. I’ll be back!!
Heard on the street. after two (or three?) years on COVID hiatus, Mike Madness the Lewy body fight for a cure fundraising 3-on- 3 tournament MAY be coming back. Still firming things up but this year, we are aiming for a mid August time slot. Location likely UAB.
