When I find great records in used record stores, I ask myself how did they end up there. In many cases, it is their owner passed away. Or sometimes (mostly on vinyl asylum) you hear stories of someone getting a bunch of coveted shaded dogs for pennies from an old lady that was cleaning her house. Make no mistake, bargain hunters, that she is cleaning her house because her beloved husband just died, and she is saying farewell to her past, selling the house, and moving to the nursing home.I have one particular record very dear to me - Bach's Double Concerto with Heifetz and Friedmad. It has an inscription on the jacked made by a shaking hand of a very old person. I think of that person every time I listen to the record. I am hoping that when I die, some stranger will listen to my records and think about me.
We come and go, but great music stays.
