I made a start at organizing my LPs. I have about 100 LPs, but not all of them were in the barn! Of the ones in the barn I have cleaned two and nee of those cleaned play beautifully; one is so scratchy that I don't think it is salvageable. A Dave Brubeck record plays beautifully on one side; the other side is hopeless. Carl says they have players now that don't touch the disks, but use a laser to read the music. If they aren't too expensive that may be in the future. I'll have to see how many I have to discard. I just discarded the "Messiah" by the German Gramophone (I don't have them in front of me and my German isn't good enough to try spelling what is on the label. Anyway, those records were covered in mud. I saw no way they could be reclaimed.
I'm currently listening to an old Herb Alpert disc. Probably, no one remembers him?? This is "The Lonely Bull" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
Thunderstorms have a 30% chance of occurring here this afternoon. We have cleared as much as we can to be prepared, but our Jersey Barriers are yet to be placed. We'll hope it is a minor storm.

Of course I remember Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass - love it still. It makes me happy to hear it!
Yes! His stuff is cheerful it forces you to "perk-up." I'm happy it wasn't destroyed.
