    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???

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