I had someone reach
out to me over Facebook this weekend inquiring if I had any Frank Sinatra or
Ben E. King records. She was looking for a student who had recently shown an
interest in collecting records.
I didn’t know this
person, so I immediately wondered what age level she was teaching, and why a
teacher would be searching Facebook for records for a student?
Obviously, I was hoping nothing fishy was going on.
The combination was interesting. Frank Sinatra and Ben E.
King. For a student. How old was this student?
I think Sinatra’s name still carries its way down to new
generations, although I think I was still college aged before I really listened
to any of Sinatra’s tracks. Just for the information of my faithful readers, I
did have two Sinatra records. I have copies of “September of My Years” and “The
Sinatra Story” in my sale pile.
Ben E. King’s name probably doesn’t reach a new generation
or listeners, but they likely know “Stand By Me.” I assume this pupil is a fan
of that song since I couldn’t even name another song by King off the top of my
head. I didn’t have any Ben E. King for sale.
The teacher said she’d let me know about the Sinatra records,
so we’ll see if I make any sales.
One of the more interesting things about resale of vinyl is
seeing the variety of musical interests.
