TN (...But the Shadows Have Foes)

SPB: How much space in your home is dedicated to music storage (instruments or records)?

TN: I've had to move cross-country for work a few times, so I sadly wound up paring down my record collection from its staggering heights in my early twenties. However, I've managed to live in the same place for a while now, so I finally have a music room. When we first moved into this house, there was a decent size room in the basement where we stashed all our moving supplies. As we slowly emptied that room out of cardboard boxes, all my music related stuff migrated there. So now, there's a few boxes of LPs, a few boxes of seven inches, and a whole bunch of gear. I have two half-stacks down there I use for different bands, two guitars, a bass, and a cabinet full of guitar pedals and mics and that sort of thing. Having lived in tiny apartments for most of my adult life, to have an actual room in my home dedicated to records and gear feels like an enormous privilege, and it legit feels good every time I walk in there and see everything hanging out, all nice and organized.
