[Fmpro] Nelson Riddle et al

[Robert Stanton]

Hi JohnB - Robert here ;-)  
- it sounds like you have a great collection of music.  I'd like to get some
of that, especially stuff from the 30's and 40's.  I need to listen once
again to music from Oklahoma after the stuff Jeff mentioned - there is just
so much.  I have a little dilemma; I have a bunch of records from the
Franklin Mint - 12 collections; sets that are each about the size of George
Harrison's All Things Must Pass album (multiple disks with notes etc.
Anyway, they are all records, i.e. LPs on vinyl and I have no means of
playing them and have had no luck selling them.  They go on Ebay for about
$20 a set.  I am not selling them now - I would just like to get them into
someone's hands who would appreciate them.  The problem is the shipping -
they're heavy.  I've been thinking of donating them to a local thrift store
since I could just drop them off.  They include music by Beethoven, Verdi,
Horowitz, 20th century masterpieces, American Orchestral Standards (Ives,
Bernstein, Gershwin), legendary operatic voices, music by Serkin, Stern,
Schnabel etc.  No Nelson Riddle though :(
I've had them for ages and to the best of my knowledge are in perfect
condition, and can't play them - I'm just not sure what to do with them - it
seems a sad waste.  Just thought I'd mention it here to see if they are of
interest to anyone.
