How I Became A Music Pirate

I’ve devoted a not-inconsequential chunk of my life to collecting music; to tracking down obscure records, cassettes, 8-Tracks and CD’s of all genres and styles. And now apparently that is all but over. Music has somehow evolved from tangible things into amorphous collections of 1’s and 0’s guarded over by interested parties as if they were gold bullion. How so very sad.
