In the Attics of His Life...

Yesterday we made a yucky discovery:

We have this heavy-duty plastic storage trunk in our backyard, where Yaakov stashed all kinds of stuff - college photos, old coin collections, an autograph album from the 6th grade. And lots of vinyl. For some reason (perhaps beknownst only to ba'alei teshuva), Yaakov would not get rid of his sorry record albums. We don't even own a record player.


Anyway, the kids went nosing through it, and we discovered the inevitable: mold.

So Yaakov sorted through all his treasures. Most of it ended up in the garbage. I wrote down all the artists that got trashed (for posterity, of course):

Joe Walsh
Rush (4 albums)
Yes
Miles Davis box set
Hot Tuna
Yoko Ono (Yaakov can be weird)
The Sugar Hill Gang
Dinosaurs (???)
Brewer and Shipley
Saturday Night Fever soundtrack
Donna Summer
Prince
Michael Jackson ("Hey, this is an original "Thriller" album!")
Beatles

And last but certainly not least,

Cat Stevens (ha-ha)

    I'd love you to post a comment on my memories/music topic! Mold, how sad. You can probably pick up some really cheap at a used record store (but then you'd have to find more storage space)

    Sorry about the mold! I saw Hot Tuna recently - they look a little moldy in person, too - but they sounded terrific!

    Yaakov, I know the anonymous is YOU and you are a NERD. (were you typing with a kid on your lap?)

    and BTW, it WAS the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, and the Sgt. Pepper album got trashed too.

    Michigan fans Nike Air Max 90 in Ann Arbor are in for a treat at the expense Nike Air Max 2015 Shoes of a fancy restaurant chain. Yesterday, fine-dining steak chain Ruth’s Chris nfl jerseys store posted a promotion on Facebook stating that for the NFL Jerseys rest of the season, fans in Ann Arbor will get a percentage discount off their bill equal Nike Roshe Run to the Michigan margin of cheap nfl jerseys victory (up wholesale nfl jerseys to 50 percent) of the prior game. It’s an innocent promotion to drive some traffic to a dining establishment that prices out a fair amount of Nike Free Run people.
