One person that has inspired me throughout the writing of Gilly Frank has been my daughter. She decided last year that she wanted to start collecting records, so we've had a lot of fun going to record stores and looking for new and old records. Most concerts we go to, the band has something for sale on vinyl, and it makes a better souvenir than most anything else I can think of. We've discovered the single worst thing that can happen to a record collector, though, and that is when one of your favorite records gets A SKIP IN IT! This is the worst, because it's a loss of something you had. If you buy a record and discover a skip immediately, that's almost as bad, but at least there you have a chance of getting your money back. But to have played it through a few times and then all of a sudden you're hearing half of a phrase of your favorite song repeated endlessly, well... that's the worst.
Last night, she discovered that her copy of Journey's
Escape had a skip in it, right in the middle of "Don't Stop Believin'." ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
And, just in case you need some sweet sweet air keyboard action, here's the video for "Separate Ways, Worlds Apart," from
Frontiers:
