Sounds like a lovely gift, Liz!

I did a rough alphabet organization of those CDs. Way-heavy into Beethoven, Haydn, Handel, and Mozart, but lots of other great stuff. I'd say that there are about 300 individual disks, and there are another half-dozen multi-disk sets. Great buy, is right!

Funny, though. I think the previous owner must have been left-handed. All of the cover art and the liner notes have been reversed in the cases, so I had to turn them over to the "back" to look at them. Or else his filing system was such that this was the easiest way to see what was in them. I'll think about this--maybe he was onto something.

There are a couple of oddball disks in there--I've never heard of orchestral versions of the music of Jethro Tull. Kind of makes one wince. Maybe it was a gag joke?
