Don't know how many of you heard of a relatively recent find of a clean Vocalion 78 of Dust my Broom by Robert Johnson http://www.post-gazette.com/music/2012/11/16/Rare-Robert-Johnson-record-turns-up-at-Jerry-s-Records/stories/201211160170 at Jerry's Records.
They started to play it every Saturday afternoon and I guess one thing must have led to another cause they seem to have wound up commissioning R. Crumb to do some art for them and they even have it on T-Shirts! http://www.post-gazette.com/art-architecture/2013/02/27/Rare-78-spins-into-trade-with-Jerry-s-Records-for-drawing-by-R-Crumb/stories/201302270327
I owe nearly everything to which I now listen to the $1 used records that I began to buy from one of Jerry's stores way back in '81 when U.S. radio music died. Radio was sanitized coast to coast as playlists were outsourced to NYC suits who knew the secret true music rotation to satisfy any target demographic... yeah, right. Not me, and I suspect, not you either.
I post this only because some of you might like a Crumb T-Shirt as I like mine. They might have some left and I have absolutely no idea how many were made.
