The record project

sereneI'm old enough that I still think of CDs as records; deal.
Anyway, I miss some of the records I've lost over the years (because I sold them, or actually lost them, or lent them out without getting them back, or whatever), and I'm going to try to replace as many of them as I can over time. I earmarked $100 from my prize money for this project, and I'm also giving myself a $100 reward for completing my first 5K, which I did on Saturday, so I've got $200 to spend on music! First, I'm going to set up the computer to make sure that all my music is on my external drive, so that I can easily see what I've got and what I haven't. Then I'm going to add to this list and make it as complete as I can. You may laugh at some of the stuff I wish I still had, but that's okay. It's part of the nature of nostalgia that some of this stuff is kind of funny.
Tapestry, Carole King
Diamonds and Rust, Joan Baez
Streisand/Kristofferson, A Star Is Born
Hotel California, Eagles
ELO, A New World Record
Anne Murray, Let's Keep It That Way
Sade, Diamond Life & Promise
Tracy Chapman, Crossroads
PPM: Peter Paul & Mary; Peter Paul & Mommy
Queen: A Night at the Opera
Fleetwood Mac: Rumours
Beatles: Sgt. Pepper
Jennifer O'Connor: Over the Mountain, Across the Valley, and Back to the Stars

There are a lot of memories wrapped up in some of those albums for me, too.
