I was so foolish, as my piddly library of ~10,000 albums at that time surely paled in comparison to the University's library (and likely to Conrad's own collection).
Still, the head of the music department liked my work and offered that I lecture at the college and submit my
5'50" of Pop work as my thesis, so it wasn't entirely for naught.
The consult was certainly eye-opening and I'm grateful that I could meet the legend before his passing.
