Stack Sort
If you are of a certain age and your friends had musical tastes that were at least a bit eclectic, you can remember the pleasure of exploring their album collections. Unearthing gems that were virtually unknown to you depending upon your background. It kept us all routing through the stacks because like I say you just never knew. Anyhow I still have those moments. Today I found something from the Zeppelin. That I had never listened to before. Nothing rare just coming from a time in my life when I had moved to other areas of the spectrum of music and I missed this one. And there’s still a pleasure in putting together the pieces of the puzzle. Recognizing familiar voices or familiar riffs even though the music was recorded a lifetime ago. I am sure there are many more moments like this now that the library of the world is available to us. I have not gone through a personal album collection in many years. Most of us no longer have one. And a Spotify stack doesn’t carry the same weight. Anyhow I can confirm that when you are a world class musician you turn out world class music year after year. Unless you are a one hit wonder. I think it’s great that despite the number of years that have gone by the tombs still hold up. Did I mention world class musicians? I shall because those who had careers spanning a lifetime had more than one tune in their back pocket. And the good old days to have made it to an LP meant that someone else believed in you.
