What to do with a large collection
I donated my Dad’s vinyl (78 and 33) to a local symphony orchestra. They hold auctions to raise money. Vinyl is popular. People buy, listen then donate back. And the circle goes on. Perhaps you could find an organization that would take CDs?

I saw them live at Northwestern in 1968. This was during the Chicago Riots and I was paranoid about driving home. Afraid a cop would pull me over. 😊     ellajeanelle  I am a big fan of Paul Simon (also Garfunkel).  I have always been an avid... 
50 ways to leave your lover
Sina got a positive comment from, if I remember right, Jimmy Page for one of her Zep songs. She apparently got Bonham’s riff correct.
