very old sheet music

So what would you do?

I'm a pack rat.  But my pack rat- ness has taken over and I have found it necessary for my sanity to sort and clear.  I've had this box of sheet music forever....  well, since I bought an old house in 1988 and found it tucked in the corner of a dusty closet.  This is music dating back to 1900 - and some before.   I like old stuff and I love music.  So I always just kept it - but never really played it.  

I haven't counted how many pieces I have, but stacked it measures at least 12".   Now, don't get me wrong - I am keeping at least one piece of music from each year.  First I'm having a couple of friends over to go through it and they can take what they want.  I'm taking some to a music professor at the local university.  But I plan on giving away the rest. 

So to my blogger friends.... and you know who you are.  If there was an old piece of music that you heard, or  remember your grandparents - or more likely your great -grandparents having.... ask me and I'll see if I have it. 

I would like to make a lot of money with this music.... but in reality I don't have the time to do the posting, etc.  Unless any of you have some brilliant idea...

About Me

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Phl 4:2 I have a great husband of whom I refer to as "Sir". Two children, affectionately referred to as Blondie and Red. I have no real plan for schooling other than I will continue! I'd like to be Charlotte Mason style - but I think I resemble a more eclectic style... or maybe unschooling ... or at the very least unstructured. Enjoy my ramblings... as that is what I do. Thanks for visiting!
