Stuff I used to have somehow keeps following me around-for instance-I had and disposed of IRS greatest hits v. 2 & 3 in three different decades-I think the copy I have now is here to stay-but it seems like some music just wants to stay with me!

CD Rot ? hermmm....

I had to get rid of my cassettes because they totally stunk after all these years. I'm the type to rest my beer on my cd's so thank god for computers. I can just run off a new one!
