The stupidest thing I've done with musical material
I have an extensive music collection:
12,000+ mp3 files (which doesn't count the CDs that I haven't ripped)
1,500+ PURCHASED CDs (not burned, not ripped-and-burned)
500+ Vynal record Albums
Countless cassettes, including over 100 'complitation' tapes I made.
So I 'have some music.'
I've collected music (records, CDs) since I was about 14-15, going to garage sales, finding 'treasures.' Sometimes I would buy a box of 50 or so albums for $10 (This was in the early 80's). I'd buy the box because it had several albums I wanted, so I'd end up with albums I had no clue about. Well, with the 'garbage' albums, we'd go trap and skeet shooting, and for fun we'd wing the albums and basically obliterate them (kinda like Conrad from Three Kings. I am NOT white trash, even if I do know how to play Euchre!)
Well, to make a long story longer, one day we went out and blew up about 25 albums that I thought were garbage. I still had the album covers though. The next week or so, a friend of the family came over and saw the jacket cover to one of the now pulverized record. He went bezerk and told me he'd give me $50 for it. I had to break the news to him that we had just blown this 3 album set to bits with a Belgian Browning Auto 5. He went ballistic, and said it was worth a lot more than the $50 he was offering me. It was a first cut Rick Wakeman (of Yes) Journey to the Center of the Earth, in pristine condition.
Yep. Now I guess I had better go dun blowed me up some beer bottles out in the back 40.
