When I started accumulating steel guitar related records, it was nothing more than one record at a time with no thought given to one day "having a collection"
I look now at my extensive 'collection' of records that also include those early day giants of steel guitar......in addition to those of JERRY BYRD.
I find myself getting depressed now adays.....since other steel players can't also enjoy the fabulous music that I have sitting on my shelves.
Do any of you folks share these kind of feelings about your cherrished records? |

How BIG is your record collection?
How long have YOU been collecting?
WHAT VALUE might you place on it? |

It's a good idea, but given how easily records can be scratched and ruined, they should be converted to CDs, and the CDs made available while the records themselves remain safe.

yep, pretty much gotta digitize everything we want to keep for very long...
In answer to your question Ray, I have a bunch of random stuff, including a lot of library cast-offs from yester-year. Lost all the really good stuff I had collected many years ago in a parting of the ways, as it were.... |

It's always great to have your posts here.
You always have interesting topics.
My collection is big but I know there's albums I don't have, and I know I lent many out years ago and never got them back. I am very very slowly transferring them to mp3 using a dedicated record deck to PC. It's only when I want to relearn some old stuff. Just recently, Tom Brumleys album went through this process. It's saved forever, and backed up on external hard drives. It's a long slow process, but at the end of the day, even though it's all cleaned up by the process and scratches are almost removed on the digital conversion, there's nothing like listening to it straight from the deck through the speakers. Anyway, sharing, ? Not anymore, I want them here, sleeves, moth eared corners, and mouse eaten also at one point when they were stored in a shed.. ha. The records are OK with a wipe with a deterganty cloth!
I hope you are well Ray.
Dallas in 2011?
Dad and me coming to that one.
Last one for me for a while.
I've got Vegas, Florida, and Australia on the list for 2012,13 and 14..
Regards, David.. |
