History? A waste of time? I have heard that said way too many times over the years. Admittedly, most of those years were academic years. I loved the time I spent in school, elementary on, and even considered taking classes at the University of Washington during my tenure at Peaches Records back in the eighties (for fun, not for credit). There is something about the smell of a campus, be it major college or small technical school, which makes my heart beat a bit faster. Just the act of learning changes things for me and I love watching people expand their horizons— in positive ways, of course.
