re: #84 Eclectic Cyborg
Also, a properly maintained musical instrument can last WAY the fuck longer than any iPad can.
my grandma (dad’s mom) bought him a saxophone in 1940.
he was 16 and played in school i guess. (he was very bad im told.)
in third grade they were testing all the kids for musical ability for the band and orchestra, etc.
they said i should play the saxophone.
i went home and told my parents and they said ‘well we have a saxophone in the attic…” (because i had no idea at the time)
local store fixed it up a bit and i played concert band, marching band, and partway through college. i was…meh.
i still have it, but it’s not any good anymore.
the best part is i have the original paperwork, which includes notes my grandma wrote on the back of a deposit slip from a local uptown NY bank that we’d become the auditors for.
here’s the letter from the company:
