Funny thing is, Greg, I can't recall a single tape, record or CD that I've given away that I really regretted not having. Reminds me when I finished graduate school. I was living in New York in a crummy little one room apartment, and had to make room. I had an old foot locker filled with all of my painstakingly created notes from all of my college classes, and I figured I'd never use them. So, I put the footlocker full of college notes out on the sidewalk, and this being New York City, people immediately started rummaging through it. When they say that it was just filled with useless papers, they threw them on the ground and it being a windy day, when I went out later, my whole college career of notes were scattered far down the street. And Man, did that feel good!!!!! Never regretted it for a moment.

The only records I regretted losing were those that I left at home when I came to New York, and my older sisters "borrowed" them without asking, and they all disappeared. It's taken me some time to get some of the favorite records back.

I know that I'm not the only one who does this. Art Thieme and I have done it with each other for years. There was also a long stretch of years when I kept packaging up boxes of videos and Cassettes to someone I knew ho had been nursing his wife at home for 16 or 17 years. She was paralyzed and couldn't walk, but she'd aks her husband to play some of the old rhythm and blues they used to dance to, and he'd lift her out of her wheel chair and put her feet on top of his shoes and hold her as the danced around the room to Earth Angel or the Great Pretender. I see there's a song there.

Best get to work..
