Extensive and Eclectic and we hear them as is with scratches, crackles and pops.
Being a radio and mobile DJ for a decade and a half, I collected several hundred albums. I had nothing on my dad who owned more than 500 (33 1/3) LPs and over 100 78 RPMs at the time of his death in December 2019. I had no idea he had so many. We found them spread all over the house when we prepared for the estate sale. I went through every one and categorized them on an app called Discogs. I thought so many were unique, I decided to start a podcast called Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl. Each episode will feature an album. I’ll tell stories about the family listening to these albums and I’ll give other info about the album and the time it was released.

Time to take a road trip around this great country we call the US of A. And who better to be our tour guide than the incredible Ray Charles.
He had over 1,700 listings in discogs, the website I use to catalog my vinyl collections. And it’s not easy to catalog just what genre this genius belongs to.
Well, he belongs to them all: pop, blues, jazz, gospel, country, and rock.
So get ready to hear a guy who once tried to sell an electric piano to Jake and Elwood Blues, “2,000 bucks and it's yours. You can take it home with you. As a matter of fact, I'll throw in the black keys for free!" In Volume 232: Ray on the Road.
For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
