It made me want to buy the collection, and while I am a music lover, the thought of searching through all that dust and old paper makes me wheeze like a calliope.<BR/>But, there's something about the look of all those records arranged like they were. All those colored circles - they are very appealing.

Nothing had yet been changed. Everything was as it had been.<BR/><BR/>The music room was a large study about 20 by 30 feet. But for two doors and two windows the entire room was lined with shelves. There must have been 6 or 8 shelves floor to ceiling.<BR/><BR/>Except for the hi-fi and speakers in the center of the long wall, every shelf from left to right, help LPs.<BR/><BR/>I've occasionally wondered about that collection and what could have possibly come of it.Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480329783749187372noreply@blogger.com
