Nocturnal transmissions
I don't plan on dying anytime soon, not just yet.
But as I've recently danced quite a jig with my mortality, I've been thinking about who gets my gear if I end up taking that very long dirt nap.
Just in case. And by the way, I don't want to see any of you waiting at my door tomorrow with a shovel or anything. :nono:
As my record collection is very personal and meaningful to me, I'd prefer to not have 'em sent off to the trash, but off to friends who may enjoy them.
If not for carefull planning, my speakers would surely be stacked up and sold for a few dollars a pair, at best, by my family. Except for my Design Acoustics PS-10s. They'd be hollowed out for my mother's cat.
My amps and tuners would make the neighborhood yard sale at $5 to $10 each, at best and with wishful thinking on my part. Pity I couldn't return to take one of 'em home to my new home in heaven, hell, or purgatory. I think Jesus would dig a Yamaha 810 and my ADS as they are truly "heavenly". His dad would go for the classy Marantz 1060 and maybe the EPI 100s. Satan is licking his chops over my Black Sansuis and my Cerwin Vegas, but cursing me for not buying JP's HPM 100s.
But I'd rather avoid all that.
How about you? Have you thought about where your gear goes when you go?
Birddog would be getting something, as would my friends Marybeth, Laura, Robin, Amber, Melody, my friend Jenna and her husband Steve, Jeff, Jesse, Bobby, Derek, my niece Honour, and her father Kent, who's my brother in law.
A list of others, too is in the works.
But how about you? Will your kids get them? Would your wife want them? How about your father? Your brother? Your nephew? your mistress?
Will you take 'em to the grave with you?
Will you be wearing Grados in your casket?
Will you be buried in a Bozak Concert Grand?
Will your tombstone be a granite carving of a Magnepan? Carver Amazing?
Will your hearse need to be equipped with Boston Acoustics and a SACD player playing a SACD copy of DSOTM?
Have you thought about it? Any of this?
Do you care?
Do you not care?
