Last weekend, Stan and I went for a Sunday sushi and excursion the other day. Our only major investment for the evening (outside of our bellies) was a pretty good haul at Omega Records. And I always enjoy sharing record covers with ya'll. So here 'tis.

Stan awoke from his afternoon nap to my booming rendition of Ole Man River. |

Do you know these people? You should. I promise they aren't twerking. |
A highlight from Nerds would be the
titular song. I've loved these gals for awhile, wooed through another self titled album featuring
harmonies that hurt a little they're so pleasantly, & humanly dissident.

Never had any Rush, before. |

Biggest investment, and great payout. Love Jazz in the fall. Or whenever else. |

Bought this one for those days when I need some real patriotic music. |

"Fatha" Hines' stuff is easy to find and fun to hear. He ambles casually through jazz favs. |

I got this because it has Marshmallow World on it.... so sue me. |
I love listening to these records in our new home. The little crackles sound like popping kindling and almost make me believe we have a working fireplace.
Hand-me-down music is the best.
Some guy (gal?) named Schumpert's collection (see his John Hancock on the Charlie Parker cover?) was recently added to the shelves. I could tell through a few minutes of flipping that he'd spent years collecting and listening to jazz especially. Think of all that record flipping! And now I'm flipping his record. I hope that if he's still around, he's still listening, just to a different format. But maybe he's not around. And I hope one day when I'm not around someone will continue to listen to my collection as well.
