Trollheart,

I lend out about a half dozen Genesis CDs that never returned, we would had gotten along great as friends - you know provide we lived in the same country.

I like Dan Fogelberg. I have his greatest hits but I really didn't get into collecting his studio albums. The one song of his which grew on me which I heard constantly was Leader of the Band. Usually when people hear a song over and over it wears thin on them but the more I heard that song the more I liked it. I remember finding that song listed in the contents in a tab book - I felt like I won the lottery. I practice that song for hours trying to get it just right. I think the time I put into that song, is about the same time some people would use to hear quite a few albums. I'm not always into hearing albums in their entirety and I don't always feel the need to collect the whole catalogues. I feel that is the difference between album collectors and my approach to acquiring music - I get hooked on a song almost to the point of an obsession, so a copy of a song is just fine and generally they're one I like to learn on guitar, while their (the collectors') goal is to collect the whole catalogue of their favourite artist/bands.
