Music for the Soul

Our moving schedule has been accelerated! We are closing on June 20 and have movers coming next Thursday, June 16. I believe I've developed some tendonitis in my right wrist from the continual motion required to tape the tops and bottoms of boxes...lots and lots of boxes! One of the last chores left is to go through hundreds of discs and once again make keep/sell decisions. Bill's taste in music has always run toward classical, liturgical and pipe organ while my favorite disks are those of contemporary Christian and  praise music. We meet in the middle with Broadway show tunes and late '60s/early '70s protest songs (think of Judy Collins, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Don McLean and Peter, Paul & Mary). Neither one of us have "converted" to iPods or MP3 players so finding a way to store a lot of discs is a little challenging.

A few years ago I found an attractive leather storage box through Red Envelope that holds 100 discs (sans jewel cases). My goal this week: winnow these stacks down to as close to 100 as possible! Oh, the stacks in the back? My music!


On a related topic...our boat was moved to a new slip this year, farther out on the dock. It's a new perspective from the flybridge (fewer boats to obstruct the view of the river) and has the added advantage that Bill can crank up the organ music when he's swabbing the decks with lesser concern for the teasing that our dock neighbors like to do.
