That LP Collection
I decided the other day to start listening to my LP collection, which is pretty vast and, I’m happy to say, well organized, at least in my own way. I’ve got them, maybe 500-600 of ‘em, arranged by category. For instance: Bluegrass, subdivided its own self into Bill Monroe, Flatt & ...
