Haha honestly my point was a very minor one. Just my heart sank a little when her first video was a passing remark about alphabetising the collection, it made me think that there was probably an order in there already that she hadn’t even grokked. But they’re her records, and the music is the main thing that matters.
The only person who may have been able to make sense of the original order has passed on from this mortal coil and isn’t coming back either to assist in finding records, nor to be heartbroken or salty that she’d “ruined [his] filing system!”
And I do not think this is one of those things where if only she had spent six months studying it and doing a big wall full of pushpins, index cards, and post-its joined by yarn lines, suddenly it would all make sense and she’d inherit a magical musical truth.
