5/18/2023 0 Comments Music collector since 2001It was an Alice Cooper 7” with Clones (We’re All)/Model Citizen on it. “my music collection is as good as any library when it comes to looking up information that interests me What was the first record you ever purchased? My brother & I had a couple of Raffi albums that I remember listening to fairly often. My dad has also sung & played guitar in various rock & country bands as long as I can remember.Īpparently my mom & dad would play me Monty Pythons’ “Lumberjack Song” as a baby & I seemed to enjoy it (that might also explain why I like to press wildflowers). There was usually something playing on the stereo in the house & always a mix tape in the car’s cassette-deck. Like most people, my parents were my earliest influence on my love of music. It was like having an artifact from some ancient civilization. It was also kind of cool to be able to say that you owned something on vinyl because they weren’t really making records anymore. It was the late 90s & a lot of the time it was cheaper to buy used records than it was to purchase something new on CD. I first started buying records when I was around 16 or 17. I know that’s a bit of a touchy subject here in the vinyl community, so I’ll try not to mention it too much. I’ve got a little over 2000 albums, around 120 7” singles & a hand full of 10” records. How and when did you start your record collection? How many do you own today? I’ve sung & played guitar in several bands since high school & occasionally write my own material. I’m working in a food supply warehouse that has a strict social media policy, so I probably shouldn’t mention the company. I currently live in Edmonton, Canada with my wife, Marlee & our two rescue beagles, Newman & Cosmo. It’s time to discover his very honest and interesting interview!
