We'll have to come back a few times to load up some smaller stuff in the semi-suv I rented (including my system) but the main move w/truck is on Tuesday. Its only about a 20 min. drive away.

We had to move 'cause its a condo, the owner wants to sell and we don't wanna buy it. New place is a rental for 2 years. If the virus ever ends we'll figure out where we wanna spend the rest of our lives and buy a place. I only got one more move in me. Next time I'll likely hire a company to do everything, including packing. I'm too old for this shit.

About 4,000 LP's here, many acquired since moving to this location. I don't even want to think about the process. I hope yours goes smoothly. Stay well. dh

I have nearly two dozen disc for this series from many a fine jazz pianist, and his is among the tops. "Anyone who understands jazz knows that you can't understand it. It's too complicated.

Cpwill Audiophile Posts: 1096 Location: DC Joined: December 22, 2003 Contributor Since: October 24, 2008	There have been 42 solo recital CDs at Maybeck and 10 duos. That would be quiet a box set.
