R.I.P., Nick Redman.
I'm thankful the estate appreciates us enough to donate it; I got to say, if most of us died, one or two the following would happen to our collection:
1. Put up on eBay.
2. Thrown away.
Make a will, people!

Or end up in boxes in some thrift store.

|
Of course, it would be better if it were some thrift store in the L.A. area, I guess, where film music buffs are more plentiful.

The sad thing about this--other than the fact that our dear Nick is gone--is that even the families of film score luminaries don't have an interest in this stuff.
And of course it remains to be seen how much of his stuff will actually move even among us for whatever reasons. However it is nice his prestige is giving his collection a shot few others will have.

I've actually wondered about that too at one time... who's gonna get all my CDs? Or who should get them? Or want them? :-) I think I hold on for them a little bit longer, but who knows, I could die today on my way home.

I fully expect my wife to get a dumpster and toss all my bullshit when I die. If it means nothing to her, it's just stuff. I have a few boxes of "money items" but even those are probably not nearly worth the time and effort it would take to list and sell them.
I got the Redman Estate email too and all I felt was sad. I didn't know him, but his passion impacted my life.

Best not to speculate on these things. SAE will announce what's what soon.
The other news I can share is that Nick's extensive collection of rare memorabilia is going to be auctioned at Profiles in History in November. I arranged for that to happen and we're hoping it all finds various good and loving homes. Unbelievable stuff, really - especially the Peckinpah memorabilia. I'll keep everyone here posted as we get closer to that date.

I beg your pardon, but his widow, Julie Kirgo, has written liner notes for all of the Twilight Time releases and numerous score CDs. She is her own treasure to this beloved avocation of ours.
