Joys Of Music

I have been listening to some wonderful music the last few weeks. With the changing technology the older cassette tapes have lost much of their value (at least to other people). Recently I bought 144 tapes for $30, 66 for $25 and about 180 for $25. I had to store and give some of them away but I still managed to gather a bunch of music styles in about 350 of tapes for $80. Tonight as I type this I am listening to some wonderful Chopin. When I was in Paris I visited his grave, what a genius this guy was.

Hopefully this music will make the long hours in the darkroom that much more enjoyable. W. Eugene Smith felt that the music he listened to while printing was an invaluable part of the creative process, I hope that holds true with me.
