Has anyone else been watching that "Strange Inheritance" show?
It kills me to watch anything on Fox, but I turned it on over the weekend when I was bored and really enjoyed the baseball card episode. The JFK episode was interesting, too. Makes you realize there is still good stuff out there and it pops up every so often.

(50,130 posts)I went to a fun estate sale a couple of weeks ago. The home of a man who passed at age 93 and had lived in the house for sixty years. He was a musician and a music teacher. Gee it was fun, but unfortunately I got there five minutes after the opening bell and beaucoup pickers were already carrying piles of the best stuff out of the house. !!!
I was after sheet music, and there was plenty of that and plenty of music instruction books, but not really much that was uncommon. I only bought a couple of things in that niche. Oddly, there were no instruments!
I did snag a nice old Bauer sugar and creamer with lid for a buck. That's about it.
This old gentleman was a bit obsessive with his music. On each page of a book of songs or tunes, he would write the day and time he played it for the first time, and make notations about the quality of the arrangement, noting for example when an improper chord was included, or when something didn't fit a boogie woogie idiom, and so on. And on the front, he wrote the name of the store he acquired it, the date, the discount he got, and the price he paid. What a hoot.

It's so cold the sellers aren't coming out at all and I can't blame them. More snow is on the way and it was -14 degrees this morning. Yard sale season seems a million years away. On a positive note, there's a "Strange Inheritance" show on tonight that's about someone who inherited a bug museum worth tons of money. At this point I'd be happy to be the heir.
