When Phil died he left six linear feet of vinyl LP albums (ask your parents children) as well as scores of CDs. Some went to friends but there were far more than I could ever sort through or listen to; and to be honest some I wouldn’t want to listen to anyway.
Some
nineteen years after he passed away I finally got around to passing them on.
From
Facebook archives.
Have just had a lovely afternoon
with the guy from Steel Wheels going through all Phil's vinyl and cds. He's given me a fair price for them and Steel
Wheels now has the basis of a damn good folk section.
I still have the classicals and ones with
sentimental attachments.
Coincidentally he paid me exactly the same amount I
recently paid Will Fixit to have the slates fixed and replaced after the snow.
Anyone else think Phil is still looking after me?

Phil just
crossed my mind today...
Dulcima
The time has
just come round again for members of Nonsuch Dulcimer Club to pay their subs,
and write a paragraph for the members' directory. I mentioned Phil's dulcimer in my paragraph.
Bentonbag The more I think
about it the more I think Phil would be really chuffed at the thought of being
the basis of a Steel Wheels folk section. If the albums had gone to the Folk Degree
Library then they might have been useful, but they wouldn't have been as
cherished or appreciated as if someone paid money for them. Also there a chance they might raise the
interest and possibly convert a non-folkie.
🪕🪕🪕
Something that sticks in my memory: after closely examining two or three albums, the buyer said, with respect in his voice, “This was a guy who really cherished and looked after his records, I don’t need to check the condition of any more, they’ll be fine.”
There will be no Tale tomorrow (Saturday)
