[QUOTE="FJF, post: 5725596, member: 601907"] Thanks! FWIW, I only had ~250 records when I was 16. At the age of 45, There are probably ~6500 recordings scattered around the house. I've culled the collection quite a bit over the years. Acquiring 20-30 new recordings a month doesn't really help to keep the quantity in check. When I was 13, I bought the (original, red cover) Rolling Stone Record Guide. By that point, I'd pretty much memorized every mainstream recording from the 50s on up, and this book opened the door to finding so much musical creativity that mere words fail to express. That's when my peers pretty much stopped talking to me about music. My friends in high school were buying Styx tickets, while I was hanging out in a downtown dive listening to the Ramones on Friday and coming back for the King Sunny Ade show on the following night. It didn't exactly make me the most popular kid around. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
