Tina, The simple fact of the matter is that analog sound is way better than its digital equivalent, and that is why I'm choosing to hold on to a few dozen records among the remaining 6,000 or so. (I've already sold about 3,000 of the original collection.) Some of those I chose to keep are strictly personal (a band called Syrinx, from Toronto, led by my good friend John Mills Cockell, and the aforementioned Mary Margaret O'Hara's record Miss America, all of whose band members are also friends of mine, including the Piltch brothers, stalwart jazz musicians, Dave on bass and Rob on guitar), and a couple of Lenny Breau records (I took guitar lessons from him for a year or two), and Zakir Hussain and Swapan Chaudhuri (both tabla players extraordinaire). Most of the rest I'm content to dump, but these few treasures I shall hold onto forever. Oh yes, and the records by Shakti, most notably the first one. Arthur
