Who Owns the Music?
One of the axioms of music collecting I have learned, whether it be records, books, or musical instruments, is:
Never lend anyone anything.
It sounds a little misanthropic, but the reason is simple.
You never get it back.
The Grateful Dead’s Aoxomoxa, Love’s Da Capo, Tim Buckley’s Greetings from LA, a Nick Drake box set, and Patti Smith’s Horses, all treasured and all vanished into the hands of people whose names I can barely remember, or at least, would like to forget. At least they shared my enthusiasm for the records.
I admit one was an ex-girlfriend who wanted to walk away from the relationship with at least something. 0 reply
