Thank you, wonderful. This was the first song the Hamburg Soul Choir rehearsed when it was founded in 1988 or so, I was a member then. Good memories.

Hi E-mile

Seeing your Vol 2 Post made me start Back at Vol 1 first.

Wow! So pleased I did -what a selection only a couple I didn't think were up to the mark.

What a music collection you must have!

Just out of interest-how many albums do you own & if you have them all on MP3 what is the total???

E-mile said...

hi jazzobsesive, regular CD's and MP3 albums together span about 22.000 albums I think, but I stopped counting loooong time ago [:-)

jazzobsessive said...

Hi E-mile

That's some collection my friend.

And I thought I was into music!!

Keep up the great work & thanks for sharing!
