It is so good that I am not alone in my experience! Since we’ve been married, we moved 5 times. Each time, my job was to pack up the house, and Al’s job was to pack up his records. The first thing that was set up in each house was Al’s record collection. On one move, we had 200 boxes of family items and 200 boxes of records. When the movers saw the boxes of records they called the home office for two more trucks!

I still see my wife sitting in a Rome sidewalk cafe on a busy road with a 1 litre bottle of red wine in front of her. The deal was that I would order some wine for her whilst I was off hunting. A pity they did not have 2 litre bottles.
I don’t talk about, a 5 days ‘holiday’ trip to N.Y. where I spent 2 whole days at Prestige’s in Bergenfield, one day at Dayton’s and an other say in the Times Square area, nor about days spent at the Paris flea market at St Ouen and London Soho. We madmen are shameless.
Our ladies have suffered indeed. But is all over. Fortunately for them there is EBay. Fortunately for us madmen there is “the jazzcollector” who keeps an eye on things.

Mrs. Jazz Collector: my wife and I spent last weekend searching no less than 15 thrift stores in the San Francisco bay area for jazz records. We added 30 to our collection at $1.00 each. While I was loading up on records, my wife was loading up on books and other stuff. To answer your question, I am not crazy, but a highly discerning shopper in paradise.

My wife and I bought a cottage on an island up in Maine. One of the first things I brought over was a turntable. And I’m originally from Western MA. Maybe there’s a connection there…

“I really have just one question: Are you all as crazy as my husband?

Dear Mrs jazz collector…yes we are.
