Midlife crisis

I'm old enough. That's true. I've run my last long distance run. I'm not sad but I lack something for sure. Perhaps there's someone in my past that was the one that got away. I think a lot. I've gone to collect records again too. Is this my midlife crisis? I've been neglecting myself. Not keeping up appearances. I look like someone's gran these days. How I hate that. They get younger each year, those grandparents. How come that I can only connect to those that are out of reach? Is it my curse? I can't help that I think a lot. Once I fooled around in the hay like there was no tomorrow. Now tomorrow has come and there's even no hay any more. Politicians have been turned into glorified commedians. Art has become past modern modernism. Don't like to own anything but surely like to enjoy something more than mediocracy. Let the wild bunch ride again. Babysitters all grown up and grans themselves. I feel way too old at times. Like this morning. I used to howl at the moon but nowadays just go early to bed in order to wake up in the cold. I'm not sad, just mourning the friends that have gone and the love that still out there but out of reach again.

@uncalled4 Thanks! I'm sticking to a budget though. What are your favourite and best recordings?

@val70 I'm an audiophile. I've found most of my holy grails, like the Ludwig 1st pressing of Led Zeppelin II, Japanese mono Beatles albums from the 80s, some RCA Red Seals, etc. I even have a Bulgarian pressing of Genesis's [i]ABACAB[/i], which I bought so I can say I have a Bulgarian pressing of [i]ABACAB[/i] lol. I also have some MFSLs and dbx discs.

@uncalled4 Wow! That is impressive. I'm collecting classical music. Run through online catalogues for second hand issues of recording of worth. There are several American orchestras that I only now exploring

@val70 I have a friend who is a flipper and he comes across titles all the time, I can keep an eye out, even if he doesn't always come home with Mercury Living Presence titles.
