What Happens When You Die?


As John Garfield's character in "Body And Soul" says -- "Everybody dies." If today were that fateful day, what would happen to your equipment and your music collection? Do your spouses, relatives, friends, etc. have any idea about its value, both financial and emotional? Is there any piece of equipment or music you would want to be buried/cremated with?

Me, they'll lay me out on a Marshall stack and set it afire while showing "What's Opera Doc?" My music collection will be boxed up and sent to a storage facilty with each box being labeled "Rosebud". The equipment will be distributed to my relatives, non of whom will have the slightest appreciation of its value.

It all goes to my son who is following in my Audiophile footsteps. Yes....................... Makes going to CES a blast.....................
This thread reminds me of an old audiophile buddy who was on his deathbed. He asked that his entire system be carried upstairs into the attic of his house, so that he could easily grab it on his way up to heaven. After he died his grieving widow and I went upstairs and unfortunately all his gear was still sitting there where we had left it. She shook her head and without missing a beat said, "I told the old fool that he'd have a much better chance if we took it all down into the basement!" :)

I have instructed my son and daughter, under no circumstances, sell anything (records especially) at a cheap garage sale. Research the value, and sell to a collector.
A friend of mine has me listed in his will to carry out the sale of his gear, if his wife doesn't want it.
