I keep pursuing! There is hardly an end to any of it. I don't necessarily view myself as a completist. . . I'm certainly not an "object worshipper" type of completist, you know, have to have the JRVGs with obi in the original plastic slipcover all displayed in a nice little box or case. I want the music in the best sound I don't care how it looks. I'm buying and selling all the time. It's sort of a way of making my life busier than it would have been otherwise, I need that. As wesbed says: it's exciting, it's educational, it's not harmful.
I HAVE actually been scaling back in purchases for fiscal reasons, and fitting rather fidgetily into that new situation. And I have been finding new stuff. . . I mean more Monk, more Miles, more of the music of the folk that I hit a brick wall on at some point . . . it's as if there is never an end, so to be a completist is an impossible thing. . . . I don't feel as if I'm a completist so much as I am always seeking the new music out there of my favorites, and always finding new favorites. . . . In that respect, life is good.
