As I drool over your record collection, I must say you have a diverse taste of music which I love. I do as well. Love that Toad The Wet Sprocket record (they are my fave and I'm actually doing a series on them right now). Great great record collection Melinda. Really love this video and part 1 of it. Great job! Look forward to your next video!

Thanks for sharing your collection Melinda!! I love how a lot of your records are in the wooden bins..it’s like a record store how you can so easily flip through them! Funny how lately I’ve been thinking about getting that Sade box set…I just might pull the trigger now. I love the range in music you have. To go from Frank Sinatra straight to Skid Row lol..cool stuff!

[@MelindaMurphy]

The Sade box set is very nice and hopefully it will be on sale by now. ♥️ Thank you for the kind words. Take care.

Hello Melinda, What a great, fantastic record collection. So many different genres; hard rock, heavy metal, rock, pop, psych and more. great collection with many, many rarities. My favorite bands are Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and many more. The many MFSL Audiophile pressings are also very exciting. Great collection, very great! ♥♥

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you very much. It's taken several years to build my collection. It's been so much fun. Take care. 🤗♥️

[@Ram-wi4pr]

What a wonderful collection Melinda. Love your channel and your musical taste. Lot's of overlap with my own collection (which i need to downsize again :). Greetings from a fellow record collector from Belgium. Keep up the good work.

It actually sounds very good. 🤗♥️ I was so happy to find that record and it was very affordable. Thank you and take care.

[@MrLovell1971]

Nice Melinda love your Part 2 you have a lot of gems love those Fleetwood Mac albums especially the Buckingham and Nicks I still need to get that one into the collection

Oh wonderful!! What a fantastic, wide-ranging collection, Melinda!! ☝️🏆 I was sooo envious when I saw your "Badfinger" LP!! 😲 I've been after that for ages!! What an underrated band! And yes, I urge you to increase your Budgie collection ...I've got them all, and they are magnificent!! What a Band!! 🤘👍😊

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you! I found a copy of the Badfinger album that had a record in good condition but the album cover was terrible. A viewer happened to have an extra album cover in good shape and sent it to me. That's how I was able to obtain a nice copy. 😀 Thank you and take care.

[@mikesgotthespins5894]

I really enjoy these flip thru videos, what an awesome collection, I'm a bit of a fan boy for bands like Blue Oyster Cult, and Cheap Trick, very cool to see them so well represented in your collection, I spotted "Cat's In Space" in there, lol, they have not caught on like I thought they might. Thanks as always for sharing, Peace!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Yes, Cat's In Space is a good band. I hope they do catch on. 🤗♥️ I do love Cheap Truck and BOC. Thank you and have a wonderful Sunday.

[@davidellis5141]

Hi Melinda 🌞 ! Love the debut of The Dream Academy & Talk Talk It's My Life. Nice Velvet Underground 🚇 🍌 & Television 📺 as well. That was fun 😁

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you very much! I remember finding that Dream Academy album still sealed for only $2. The albums all have memories attached to them. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️

[@Mikesmallfanclub]

Wow what a fantastic collection you have and what incredible taste in music you have so many different genres, the biggest surprise was seeing a Budgie record amongst them all one of my favourite bands and Bandolier is one of their best albums well worth delving into their catalogue. Many thanks for sharing that with us Melinda keep safe and keep on rocking.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I rarely see Budgie albums. I will definitely be keeping my eyes open for more. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗

[@stephenjerome4135]

That is a super collection of records you have. I have quite a few of those albums as well. I love Duran Duran, Fleetwood Mac and I have a large collection of Motown stuff as well, especially Diana Ross, Temptations, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. It was a nice surprise to see that Kajagoogoo album there too. That is one of my favourite 80's albums in my collection along with Duran Duran's Rio album. Those storage drawers look absolutely cool. It's amazing how many albums can be stored in each drawer. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing it with us. Take care Melinda.

[@MelindaMurphy]

You have great records. Duran Duran's Rio is a special album. I love it too. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗

@@MelindaMurphy RICK ASTLEY LOL DONT GET ME WRONG I THICK HE IS GREAT ALSO XX YOU HAVE SOME CHEEKY WEE SECRETS MELINDA LOL

[@buenaventuralife]

Great collection. So many wonderful records to remember and listen to. A challenage - how genre merged over the years. Example, how the Momas and Papas were American Folk in the early 1960s and came to their own in the late 1960s. How various other artists were part of their songs. Moving through the years to today. You have done so much, seeing how they all were part of each others success would be fun. Great stuff!!!

[@MelindaMurphy]

It's always interesting when a band switches lanes and tries a different genre or sound. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️

[@9496TULL]

Hey Melinda, always good to see ya. Even tho I don’t comment as much as I used to in the early days. Enjoyed looking thru your collection. Very nice. I love BOC too. I just picked up their 50th anniversary live LP. It is awesome.

[@billphelps5611]

Nice flip through the collection. I see you have Bowie Changes Now....that record sounds fantastic! I'm hoping to get a copy sometime. I saw a lot of records I have and a lot of records I don't have. I also saw the Michael W Smith Project which is his first record. I have that one too, good stuff. You have a great collection, thanks for sharing!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you! I love the Michael W Smith record. It's sentimental. ♥️ Bowie is also great. Thank you and take care.

Please do! Your collection is definitely worth seeing. 🤗♥️

[@kguy2know]

Loved looking at your collection. The album you have that put the biggest smile on my face was the Dolly Parton Soundtrack of Best Little Whorehouse; absolutely love that movie and soundtrack (maybe you had to grow up in the 80s to appreciate it). I actually still listen to my copy...you gotta love Dom Deluise screaming "texas has a warehouse in it"!!! Thank you for sharing

[@MelindaMurphy]

I remember seeing that movie back in the day. I loved Burt and Dolly's chemistry. ♥️ The music is fun. Thank you and take care.

[@DonJLeBlanc]

Thats is an impressive collection Melinda !! I have a rather large collection of records as well , many titles that you have + many more you don,t have . I also have a rather large collection of cassettes , CD ,s as well as music DVD,s .( i had an 8-track collection of roughly 6 to 700 tapes , but sadly it s format thats been lost to the past ) . In all i m probably in the 2500 to 3000 units range all told . My taste , as i gather your taste varies wildly . My motto is if i dig it ..... doesn,t matter what genre .... i ll buy it . Lovely vid Melinda as always ..... You & your Husband are terrific ❤💯👌

[@MelindaMurphy]

You have a great mix of different formats 🤗 I still think 8 track tapes are cool. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

[@thomaslytle5519]

Awesome collection Melinda, thanks for sharing. I was always curious to know what you had. Quite a collection there. It was cool to see the Duran Duran I sent you in there I was looking forward to that 😊. Hey! If you love Blue Oyster Cult, you Need to have their self titled debut! I have an MOV pressing and it’s amazing. It was also surprising to see you had a Toad the Wet Sprocket. I love them and I wish they would reissue their albums on vinyl. Particularly Dulcinea and Fear. Seems like they’ve been forgotten. Anyway thanks again, I Love your wide taste in music. 👍

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you for the kind words. I have a couple of the MOV Blue Oyster Cult albums and they are very nice. I should probably get the self titled. Thanks again for the Duran Duran album. It's my go to album when I want to hear all of their hits. ♥️🤗 I love it. Take care.

[@thomaslytle5519]

For sure you should! As with most bands, I think the debut is the best 👍. And my pleasure, I’m So glad you’re enjoying it!

[@jasonsmith9845]

Thanks for another fun video! We have about 40% of the same records. I don't have nearly as much 80s "hair metal" but have more of the 80s dance and "modern rock" instead... I love the drawers and wish I had storage like that! It looks so fun and easy flipping through them.

Great video Melinda - See you next week!

Hello waow waow really a gold collection I was really impressed and I congratulate you for having this passion for vinyls and music. i noticed that the 70s and especially the 80s had a lot of impact on your choices so I say welcome to the club I believe we are of the same generation really it was the beautiful era. . new wave, progressive rock, reggae... how it's because you don't have a lot of joe cocker especially album sheffield steel and Eric clapton just one night and I haven't seen any Led zeppelin album!! ! anyway I thank you very much for your generosity for sharing with us your superb collection and wish you all the happiness of the music.

[@stevenbouler5783]

Can I add a WOWZA comment about your collection…some great acquisitions. What I truly love are those very personal selections…wonderfully revelatory of your personal history…your Dad’s record.! Super addition to a very strong collection, IMHO. My suggestion as a fan of yours…my fav prog rock group, Renaissance at Carnegie Hall…I think you’ll like it…also Lucius…great contemporary modern band. Enjoyed both parts! Thanks again!

[@charlesf2804]

I would've liked to see that performance, but it occurred a year before I moved to NY.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you for the suggestions. ♥️🤗 I will never forget my dad telling me he found a record he thought I would love and then he showed up with the Liberace record. Lol. He was so proud to give that to me. It's now a priceless memory. Thank you and take care.

Love part 2! The cabinets with the drawers are awesome, I would love to know where you got them. Your collection has such diversity and style. Most people who know me think that I just like rock, but I really do like classical music, great to see in your collection. Sinatra was nice to see, good clean sounding vocals like that are just relaxing. I didn’t notice if you had any Michael Bublé, he’s my wife’s favorite and I took her to see him a few years ago, great performer. When you got to Extreme, while watching this episode I was wearing my shirt that I got last weekend when I seen them, great show. I just kept thinking what a great collection, your a true music lover that understands the therapeutic effects that music has to the human soul. Weather we need to rock out with our fists in the air or sit and relax with some smooth jazz, it gives us what we need when we want it. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you very much for the kind words. My cabinets were custom built by a local carpenter. ♥️ I don't have any Michael Buble in my collection yet but I can understand why your wife loves him. Have a great day! l

Hi Melinda, very nice collection! You talked about wanting to get some more Budgie albums. I really like Budgie Impeckable. Also, I'm from Canada. Here's some Canadian bands you might like that are easy to get on vinyl and sound really good. Goddo (Who Cares album), Kim Mitchell (All albums), Max Webster (All Albums) and Wireless (Positively Human Relatively Sane). Hope you like them!

Oooh, Duran Duran Decade. Samantha Fox is often in Norway. She is married to a Norwegian woman and does a lot of festivals and events up there. I just uploaded my first music news video. I’m a little scared. Thank you for showing us your astounding collection. Always in a lovely mood and positive. Cheers from Morten 😊

That Tracy Chapman album is very tough to find. That album was the very first CD I ever got back in 1988, got the vinyl as well. I’ll be seeing Stevie Nicks this summer, have been going to see her and Fleetwood Mac since 1986. Gotta go again! I love how you have those Garth Brooks sets randomly scattered thruout your collection!!

It is surprising that the Tracy Chapman record has not been reissued. 🤔 So many people would love to have it in their collection. I wish I had seen Fleetwood Mac while I had the chance.

I do enjoy seeing what other people have in their collections. 🤗♥️ Thank you for the kind words. Have a wonderful weekend.

Wow! Fantastic collection! Lots of different musical genres. You get to see so many great albums and then you realize that even though you have a big collection and many fantastic albums, there’s so many that you don’t have as well. There’s just too many great albums out there. Do you keep a list of albums that you’re looking for? I recently borrowed the book “1000 albums to hear before you Die” from the library. I added many to a list on my phone. But last week, I went to four different record stores, and I didn’t look at that list one time. But Melinda, I still found many great albums. A few of them were: first pressings of “Exodus”, “Rastaman Vibration”, U2 “Zooropa”, Dust “Hard Attack” OG, and Donovan “A gift from a flower to a Garden” box set from 1967 with original folder and all 12 lyric sheets. It looked like the box was never open and the records were never played. Just insane! A couple times, I had to rush out of the store after paying. There were too many great records!!! I saw too much Gold! I left some behind that keep calling my name. This can be a difficult but rewarding hobby!

[@MelindaMurphy]

You're absolutely right, there is so much I still would like to have. Lol. I'm not a completist so there are for many people a lot of holes in my collection. It will always be a work in progress. You sure did find some gold. Nice!!! Thank you and take care.

[@marktait2371]

nice finds donavan box great i have the regular print 67 and got barbajangal pull up original artwork and 3 hickory records all in mono but yeh garden box rare good find

[@joerocks7381]

I love the early Budgie albums. Their In For The Kill album contains my favorite Budgie song, Zoom Club. That Power Station album was a huge part of my summer of 85 soundtrack, plus i got to see them live that summer.

[@MelindaMurphy]

The Power Station was very cool and I bet the concert was great. That record also sounds incredible. Thank you and take care.

[@michaeljacobson4844]

Fun video! And wanted to share since you've mentioned it a few times, I picked up the AP of Ted Nugent. Making a little "Melinda Recommends" section on my shelf where Ted Nugent and Bill Evans sit side by side!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Lol. I hope you are enjoying the album. It should sound incredible on your new turntable. ♥️🔥 Thank you and take care.

It's fun watching you flip "got that one!" "Don't have that one!" Curious if you've ever done a video about DOL records and similar. I did look around and didn't spot one right away.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I think I have one DOL record and it's a Horace Silver album. 🤗♥️ I enjoy seeing what is in other people's record collections as well. Thank you and take care.

Beautiful collection Melinda. But needs more Tull. :)

[@MelindaMurphy]

True! 😀 Thank you!!!

[@audiophileman7047]

I saw a lot of great records during the tour of your collection; I have many of them as well. 😍 You and I have pretty similar tastes when it comes to metal, but I was never a big enough fan to buy records from bands like Ratt and Great White, even if I liked a few of their hits. It's good to see your blues records. 😻 I have many of those as well and hope you'll add some others to your collection. Bluesville and Chad's QRP have teamed up to reissue all analogue (AAA) blues albums this year. 😻 The first ones from John Lee Hooker and Skip James are coming in June of this year. This is a series that I'm closely monitoring. While you thumbed through your records, I noticed that you didn't have Frank Sinatra's very best albums. The Capitol albums "Ol Blue Eyes" recorded with arrangers like Nelson Riddle, Billy May, and Gordon Jenkins in the 1950's are absolutely essential, some of the very best music ever recorded in the 20th century. 😻😻😻😻😻

[@MelindaMurphy]

I agree. I do need to work on my Sinatra collection. I used to see them around so much but now they are hard to find. I should have picked them up early on. 😳 I think Chad has a lot of wonderful surprises in store for us and he definitely loves the blues so no doubt we will be getting the best blues records from him at AP. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗

[@audiophileman7047]

All of my Capitol Sinatra vinyl albums are originals and pressed either in the '50's or '60's. I have them on CD too. Even if you can get them as good vinyl reissues, they're very much worth having. Jim Morrison's favorite singer was Sinatra. Jim had great taste. You're welcome, and you take care as well. 👍💖🎸😎@@MelindaMurphy

[@analoguecity3454]

The "Nelson" boy's are great too!😊

[@MelindaMurphy]

They are extremely nice guys and I like that album. ♥️

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

I spent way to much time looking at the 'Whipped Cream & Other Delights' cover as a young child. lol. I noticed you have nothing by 'Lighthouse', Canadian band from the 70's. They won Juno Awards for Best Canadian Group of the Year in 1972, 1973, and 1974. 'One Fine Morning', 'Pretty Lady', 'Sunny Days', and 'Hats Off To The Stranger' are all great tunes. Very Chicago like with the horn section. If you ever get a chance. Cheers.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Yes, unfortunately I am missing Lighthouse in my collection. . I do love 70's music though. Thank you and take care.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I wasn't perfect at flipping through my records and a few were overlooked. I do have Chicago 16 so it must have been passed over while I was flipping. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗

[@jmfloyd23]

@@MelindaMurphy You’re welcome ☺️ I want to add that I was glad to see some contemporary Christian titles while you flipped through your collection. I have a very large contemporary Christian collection in my library.

[@colanitower]

Nice run through a great collection. Funny effect is it works like a checklist for my own collection: Did I forget a band or overlook it? And you indeed have Golden Earring and Shocking Blue that's so nice to see. By the way, I forgot to mention Herman Brood & his Wild Romance. Their album "Shpritsz" has the song "Saturday Night" that charted in both Europe and the US. Herman Brood was a special guy. Sex, drugs and rock and roll through and through. In an interview his mother said, "Where Herman is there's chaos." In another hour-long interview he just sat there talking and an African Grey parrot was sitting on his head all the time as if it's the most natural thing in the world 😃😊

[@MelindaMurphy]

Oh wow! I will have to check out Herman Brood. ♥️🤗 I'm glad you saw that Golden Earring and Shocking Blue are represented in my collection. Thank you and take care.

[@alanlough638]

Melinda, you have an awesome record collection! 👍👍👍👍 In my record collection, I have many of the same records that you have in your collection. I have the Fleetwood Mac The Dance, the band's live 2 record set. This Fleetwood Mac was recorded during The Dance tour. I noticed that you don't have Fleetwood Mac The Dance in your collection. As for Def Leppard, I have the Hysteria picture disc. I'm a John Denver fan and I have all of his albums in my collection. An Evening With John Denver the live 2 record set is my favorite of John Denver's and I have the original US pressing and a Japanese import of this record. Take care, Alan.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I am missing The Dance. That's still a Fleetwood Mac record I need. ♥️ I bet the John Denver live album is great. Thank you and take care.

[@alanlough638]

@@MelindaMurphy Thanks for your reply. I really love your KZbin Channel. Yes, the John Denver live album is awesome. I had attended John Denver concerts in the late 1970s through the 1980s. I reside here in Weirton, WV, though I do have friends who reside in Pittsburgh, PA. I have a friend of mine, who was a roadie/stage crew for John Denver. He would get me tickets to John Denvet concerts when John Denver had shows in both Pittsburgh, PA and Wheeling WV. I had front row seats at the concerts that I attended. In 1986, my friend who worked for John Denver, had obtained a backstage pass for me to meet John Denver. My friend told me that getting a backstage pass was rare, for it's not easy getting a backstage pass. John Denver, was really nice and I got his autograph, as he signed 2 of his studio albums that I have in my collection. It's so very tragic that he died. He was 53 when died in the plane crash. Take care, Alan.

[@MelindaMurphy]

@@alanlough638 he died way too young. It's so cool you were able to get free tickets to his show. Thank you!

[@ericelliott227]

Fun video Melinda! In fact, you gave me an idea to do a similar video! I was all bummed about not being able to do such a video because I did not have the expensive modern pressings you do to show on shelves. You just gave me the idea of a brief tour of my "collection" (I like to use the word "library" because I'm not a "collector" by today's standards) using one of my crates the way you used those awesome drawers of yours. It won't be easy though, I'll have to figure out how to do it without anyone else to film (I already have an idea). The other part will be having to take records off the shelf, put them in the crate to show and then file them back on the shelf, a lot of work, but who ever said KZbin was easy? Compared to KZbin, quadradic equations with Chinese algebra is easy. (Joking aside, I can confidently say that theoretical physics is easy compared to KZbin, I studied it in college for a time. Having a really good professor helped, of course, but I digress). Thank you for the inspiration Melinda! Ah, The Bangles: I met the bass player, Michael Steel, back in their heyday and got an ultra rare hug from a Bangle! (It was arranged in surprise by a metal band I was part of on the "business side" more than musician side. The lead guitarist knew her and never told me. In my final show with them they surprised me with a personal meet with her, right in front of everyone too, geez! There were a lot of hi-jinx that night the band pulled on me. I was with them for about 3 years or more). I have got to increase my Bowie section! I only have three LPs (well, one is CD because the vinyl is unobtanium) in it! It is not easy though. You need more Bread Melinda. I have almost their entire discography. I do have that same Best Of LP, but there are hidden gems on their LPs, that are not on that one. Chicago (early Chicago)- one of my favorites, fairly recent favorite as of about 3 years ago. You need to get their debut LP and subsequent ones after that through the 70s. (After the 70s they became a different band, dull, boring corporate adult soft pop. In the 70s they were Psychedelic, prog-rock, hard rock, funk, jazz and everything in between. Do you have their "Live At Carnegie Hall" set? If not, you need to get it. Yes, I have a good amount of CCR as well. They were great! You need to get Heart's "Little Queen" LP. It is almost all acoustic and fantastic. I wish they would do a remaster/reissue of it. I have an original mono pressing of The Hollies Greatest Hits. (I do not recommend the stereo version, it is awful). You need more Jefferson Airplane Melinda. I have their discography as "Airplane", all original pressings, including Long John Silver in the form of the cigar box in very good condition (still flat and not put together and I am keeping it that way). I have tons of Gordon Lightfoot LPs, very enjoyable. I also have tons of Moody Blues, Joni Mitchell, The Monkees, Petula Clark, The Byrds, Yes, Neil Young (including with Crazy Horse), Jethro Tull, etc. I heard that Dolly Parton is now gone hard rock. I don't know, I have not heard any evidence on that and am having a hard time wrapping my head around that. I met Kevin Cronin decades ago by chance. Ran into him and his wife and kid in line for a ride at Disneyland. Weird huh? I have met a lot of artists that way, just unexpected places. I met and had a 35 minute visit with Grace Slick in a little art shop in Laguna Niguel, California. This was long post Airplane and Starship of course, but she was really nice to me. We even talked about music and Airplane a little, but mostly about paintings (I always let the celebrity lead conversation. It gains trust and one learns a lot). I was always told she was not nice and did not like to talk about such things. Well those people were wrong! Most celebrities I have met have been genuinely sweet, at least with me. There were really only two exceptions I can count, Loreena McKennitt and well, sort of Johnny Densmore, he was ok. I think he was still bitter about The Doors because he got huffy when I brought up The Doors in reference to how excellent a drummer I think he is). I met Robby Krieger by chance at a park before I met Johnny at the radio station I worked at (which was an arranged surprise for me). Robby was very nice. I'm just impressed that you like Rush so much. They are one of my top three of all time! I'm reading Geddy's book right now. Turns out, he is a good writer! It is hard to put it down. He is also extremely open about his life in it. Of course, it would not be a Geddy book, interview, fan meet, etc. without some signature self-defacement. Geddy and Alex always do that! Super humble! One doesn't play one's instrument at virtuoso level and invent time signatures now fairly recently officially published in the annals of musicology while being an idiot! I have an original pressing of that Steppenwolf LP with the foil/reflective cover. Of course, the cover is not in the best of shape, but what foil cover stays in good shape beyond a week? I'm looking for "Analog Man" by Joe Walsh myself. Can't find the vinyl version anywhere and I have been looking for three years now. I also have tons of compilation records, not K-Tel. I have maybe one or two K-tel comps, the rest are not seen that often. Some of them are pretty wild and fun too with rare alternate recordings, not heard on the official LP releases and such.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you so much for the great observations. I do love Rush! I still need a few of their records. ♥️ I do have the Chicago Transit Authority record in my MoFi collection. I love it. Very cool story about The Bangles. That must have been a thrill! These videos showing my collection weren't easy and a true labor of love. There have been many requests over the years to do it. You should definitely give it a try. It's great to see what others have in their collections. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗

[@ericelliott227]

@@MelindaMurphy I have a few Rush records on vinyl, but my main collection are the 90s remasters on CD not to mention all the way up through their last few, including the original release of Vapor Trails that was poorly mixed and the free replacement via voucher from Rush. I have a lot of DVDs of Rush as well. I did not buy into all the subsequent special releases such as the Sector box sets, because the sound quality by most reports is poor compared to the 90's remasters and even the original vinyl. Yes, meeting a Bangle was ultra rare. Back then male fans could not get close enough to shake hands with a Bangle! It was not allowed. Obviously, my lead guitarist in the band I was working with (also how I cut my teeth in the industry) vouched for me. She was very personable. She came up to me, I wasn't introduce to her! (Obviously, my guitarist pointed me out and everything). I'm thrilled to meet music artists and others every time, I just don't get all crazy. To me they just have a different job then most and are true creators for us and that needs to be respected. I always let them lead conversation and you would be surprised how real it can get. Another similar situation was when I met bassist Patricia Morrison, late of Sisters Of Mercy and The Damned. It was another surprise setup by another band I worked very close with. The singer knew her and never told me. That was another arranged meeting that was totally private. I think my friend arranged it as a surprise for my birthday or something, if memory serves. Look Patricia up and you would not think she would be sweet by just looking at her, but she was super sweet! (She is also super tall and very pretty in person as well). We sat, the three of us and chatted for a good 30 minutes. My friend did a good job tricking me on that one. I had no clue until Patricia came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said "guess who". I thought it was one of my singer's friends I had met several times or something until I turned around and nearly fell backwards! There Patricia was in full dress like she is in pictures. I got three big hugs from her. Oh, I'm going to try it for sure. In fact, it would be a great first video(s) before delving into more detail about the artists and records I have, which is the core plan. Kind of a fast intro to what folks can expect.
