Sorry to bring up this rather grim subject but I wonder if anybody has also had thoughts about this. I’m 45, not yet old but coming into that age when more and more you start to see people of your age dying prematurely, falling victims of cancer etc. I don't lead a very healthy life either. Even if I will hopefully still live long, suddenly death does not seem so remotely far away as it used to.
During many years I have built up a decent collection of close to 700 albums and I hope that by the time I will die it will have grown up significantly bigger. Quite a lot of time, effort and money will have been spent on this hobby of prog.
On the other hand I have no children and no plans to have any, my girlfriend does not like prog and the few friends I have who like prog live in my native Spain 1200 kms from where I live now, and in any case they have already music collections not much different from mine. No one from my family is a progger either.
If I die suddenly tomorrow I can only guess what my girlfriend would do with my music collection and all my other stuff. I guess she would ask my family and a few of my friends in Spain if they were interested in keeping something but given the distance I guess they might probably say ‘no thanks, do whatever you want with it all’.
The idea that my music collection might end up being sold for peanuts to some flea-market trader, or even worse, thrown away in a waste container makes me feel uncomfortable. So much passion and money wasted.
Have you had similar thoughts? What could be a good legacy so that our hard-earned music collection will be preserved and enjoyed by someone who can truly appreciate it?
