2000 45's is quite a haul.

I have about 500 45's.  Back in my day [and pre-highschool age]  
I didn't have any easy  resources to investigate/study music  
groups and songs.  I'd just visit a local shop in town that had  
several waste-height "bins" of 45's and I'd just sift through  
them until I'd see what piqued my interest.  Another  
alternative was to give my mom a list of songs I was interested  
in having heard them on the radio, and she'd give the list to  
someone working at Sam The Reord Man in downtown Toronto when  
she was still travelling to Toronto every week.
