We spend most of our lives amassing these wonderful music collections which we will cherish to the day we die, but then.....err......we die, and some ungrateful or less knowledgable relative sells it all to the nearest second hand dealer, including those yellow looking ones in the funny cases, for $1.00 each. ..........I worry about these things. For you youngsters who don't, just wait and see!
I'm sure trying to raise my kids smarter than that. I tell 'em they should make plenty on the Beatles stuff alone. Plus my wife is a lot younger than me so she'll know better, she has spent more than half her life with me and in record stores.
Check the used CD stores, everyone............. ! Mention in your "Will" the VALUE of these items..... bring up your kids and train them in the audiophile way...... leave the good stuff to someone who is an audiophile. Just don't tell them about it...... we don't want any premature accidents, do we?
Exactly! Educate both the kids and the wife, after all, who else can you really trust. I just tell my wife "Pay attention this is your retirement when I'm gone!"
All, If I have no living heirs when I pass away, I plan on leaving my collection to an educational institution for research or appreciation. Bob
Bob, Please feel free to leave them to the Dave's Audiophile Resources And Steve Hoffman Appreciation Institute.
No! Bad idea! Bad, bad, bad! The Gary Music Appreciation Society will take better care of these! Humph - as if the Dave's Audiophile Resources And Hoffman Appreciation Institute was any good. Gary PS: (just kidding Dave!)
Not planning on dying anytime soon... Dave, Gary: I am sure you both represent fine and upstanding Canadian based music appreciation organizations. I will keep your postings for my future Estate planning! Bob
Bob, That's really thoughtfull of you. Say did you hear about that horrible fire that's going to........No wait! I mean dessimated Gary's Music Appreciation Society.
Dave, Are you claiming that the organization based in Vancouver will be far superior in ensuring that my vast collection is properly archived, stored and appreciated? Bob
