Today my 15yo asked if I could pick up some CDs that he requested through our local little library (meaning that they all came from other libraries in the network). I got there to find that he had ordered 63 CDs. The librarian let me spread them out between mine and my wife’s accounts, then overrode the system to allow me to check out the remainder. I think he’s just going to do a marathon download to his computer. But it’s an impressive range: lots of Dylan, but also Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind, and Fire. Ornette Coleman, but also the earliest Replacements stuff. A bunch of Coltrane and Monk, but also Joy Division. He’s a super talented clarinetist, but I’ve been encouraging him to take up sax, too, because that’s the only way he can play in the school jazz band. So far, he wants to focus just on clarinet.
