I am cleaning the attic as we may try to move, at some point.
Amusing finds to be had, as I am a bit of a pack rat ("... A person who engages in compulsive hoarding"):
Concert tickets; Stevie Wonder, Sonny Rollins, Lester Bowie, etc. but also computer mags from early eighties, where a 5 MB hard drive was a luxury... and the Apple Lisa was newly introduced!
I do keep all my concert stubs when possible, and enjoy looking at them every few years. Sadly, many are hard to read.
Buried under all that was reel-to-reel tapes a friend made for me back in '72, my discovery of rock/blues music: The Band, GD, Bonnie Raitt, Traffic and others. I still have the Sony player, and should fire it - need to find the special drive wheel to make up for 50-60 HZ speed differential, though.
