... or then again, it may not.
It probably doesn't. Buuuuuut... it still feels pretty significant for me that for the first time since my daughter was a toddler*, I have all my Braxton CDs in one place, for easy and immediate access. (I can't work out now whether they look like a lot, or surprisingly few... but that's not important: this is not about fetishising a collection.)
We weren't short of space in the house we moved out of last year, but for various reasons we didn't make the best use of it - and as one consequence of that, most of my possessions were stuffed away in places where I couldn't easily get at them. I certainly couldn't readily access, say, an individual book I might feel like perusing - or a CD that I felt like playing.
We took care of some of that when we moved, although it's still a work in (very slow) progress; the music collection, especially, is not all sorted out yet. But I do now have all my Zappa in one place and, more to the point, all my Braxton.
I am sitting here right now listening to Beyond Quantum while I type. I haven't heard that album for years.
I have been going through some very troubled times just lately, and this is just what my ears needed...
* That is to say, more than a decade ago. The collection was quite a lot smaller then, too...
