I discovered again to my dismay that the record section is shrinking&#8211;or at least the dollar section (there&#8217;s no telling what my lie in the Better Books section, but one of the things about my record accumulation is that I&#8217;d prefer not to pay over a dollar for a record.  Which lends itself to buying some discs of ill use and hoping for the best.<\/p>\n<p>The diminished selection probably means there will never again be a day of buying sixty albums at a shot.  I did, however, optimistically buy seventeen.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/bsgfx\/gah12.jpg\" target=\"_new\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/bsgfx\/gah12.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I got:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Foreign Tongue<\/em> by Taxxi.  Clearly, this is the best album with two scantily clad women on horseback bearing crossbows that I own.  Although you never can tell.  I might own a couple like this.<\/li>\n<li><em>Mad Love<\/em> by Linda Ronstadt<\/li>\n<li><em>Snapshot<\/em> by Sylvia (all right, I yield!

But I must be complete in my accumulation.<\/li>\n<li><em>Handel: The Complete Flute Sonatas<\/em> by Jean-Pierre Rampal<\/li>\n<li><em>Love Is A Game Of Poker<\/em> by Nelson Riddle.  Although I have Linda Ronstadt and Nelson Riddle, not together.  Although I already own the three records they did together anyway.<\/li>\n<li><em>The Yakin&#8217; Sax Man<\/em> by Boots Randolph<\/li>\n<li><em>To the Limit<\/em> by Joan Armatrading.  My beautiful wife mentioned having one of her records once.  So I bought that one for her and now another.<\/li>\n<li><em>Jackie Gleason Presents Music For Lovers Only<\/em>.  Do I already own this?  It&#8217;s hard to tell because I already own so many, and Gleason put &#8220;For Lovers Only&#8221; in a lot of the record titles.<\/li>\n<li><em>Give Me The Reason<\/em> by Luther Vandross.  The first record I spun; unfortunately, it skips a bit on the first song, so it might be time for a penny on the needle arm.<\/li>\n<li><em>Rapture<\/em> by Anita Baker.  Clearly, I&#8217;ve moved into more R&#038;B as I can find it since I&#8217;ve pretty much topped up my collection of swinging 60s music.<\/li>\n<li><em>Jackie Gleason Presents Music For The Lonely Hours<\/em>.  For those without lovers only, perhaps.<\/li>\n<li><em>Reach Out<\/em>, <em>Burt Bacharach<\/em>, <em>Burt Bacharach and Friends<\/em>, and <em>Burt Bacharach Plays His Greatest Hits<\/em>.  No, <em>now<\/em> my swinging sixties music collection is topped up.  For now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Perhaps tomorrow I&#8217;ll go back for some actual, you know, <em>books<\/em>.  And the more expensive, although half priced, LPs.  And some CD courses, perhaps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friends, I hit the Friends of the Library Book Sale on the first day it opened this year within fifteen minutes of the big bell ringing.
