RE: Where do you find the time to listen?

Heretic,

Thanks for the comments. I do work hard to be organized and make the studio look good.

>>>>>>>Curious to know how your collection breaks down by genre?<<<<<<<<<

Tough question!

I've got close to 7,000 78s, dating from about 1900 to 1957. They cover a lot of genres ranging from Jazz, Pop, Hillbilly, Folk, Blues, to Doo Wop, R&B and early Rock 'N Roll.'

My 45s are mostly Rock, Pop, Soul, and Country Western.

There's about 12,000 LPs covering many genres. I've got sizeable collections of Metal, Punk, and Prog Rock. Rock, Jazz, and Classical dominate but I've also got lots of Folk, Blues, Soul, Pop, and Country Western. About 500 Various Artist compilations, 350 Childrens, 150 Soundtracks, 100 Christmas, 200 World, smaller sections for Hawaiian, Comedy, Misc. (spoken word, etc...).

I have very little Disco, Soft Rock, Smooth Jazz, and New Country, it just doesn't hold much appeal. There's a lot of Pop I pass over too. In general, music that's overplayed on commercial radio is less likely to be in my collection, although I've got a ton of Classic Rock LPs.

It's great having the variety. This evening I was spinning 78s, mostly Hot Jazz and Hillbilly discs from the '20s and '30s. Stuff like Flo Johnson & Her Beale Street Five and Clayton McMichen & His Georgia Wildcats. Where you ever gonna find music like that? Records!
