[Fmpro] Nelson Riddle et al

[bipcress@comcast.net]

Karen says that after I dance on her grave I'll be off to the nearest high 
school prom looking for my next wife. She's wrong you know. It's not safe to 
dance on loose soil.

>> 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.
