More papers into the blue bin

For many years now I have helped Rod, a tenor soloist, learn the music needed for his church choir as well as other choirs in which he has sung.  At first he would bring me copies of songs; more recently he would scan the music then email the songs, and I would print them.  He usually asked me to record each song several times, perhaps the tenor line alone, then tenor with soprano, and tenor with bass, and the accompaniment, or some other combination.  In the early years I recorded on cassette tapes, not the most convenient for rehearsing, but that's what I had.  Now I use a digital recorder  and email mp3 files to him.  He uploads the songs to his iPod and listens/practices as he hikes or whatever.

When I last saw him I asked if he wanted any of these copies of his songs, some of which date back to 2010.  He replied that he had not looked through or filed the last bunch of songs I returned to him, so he wouldn't take these.  Thus I emptied two more binders, and three inches of paper went into the blue bin today.
