In search of lost Beau Hunks

I’ve been searching for one of my Beau Hunks CDs, The Beau Hunks Play the Original “Little Rascals” Music. My other two Beau Hunks CDs — Celebration On The Planet Mars: A Tribute to Raymond Scott and On to the Show! — are exactly where they should be. So where was the CD that I wanted?

Was it among the stacks of CDs atop the turntable? No.

Was it among the stacks of CDs atop the CD player? No.

Was it among the random CDs occupying part of a bookcase shelf? No.

Was it among the random CDs occupying part of a shelf in a different bookcase? Again, no.

But I found it in the CD shelves, out of place, to the right, not left, of Beethoven.

My discovery confirms the wisdom of Professor Solomon’s claim in How to Find Lost Objects: objects “tend to travel no more than eighteen inches from their original location.”

[If you’ve never heard the Beau Hunks play LeRoy Shield’s Little Rascals music, here’s a sample. That’s a music of my childhood, on WPIX-TV, early in the morning before going to school.]
