Thanks for the link, Lindy, and for your comments, Tony. I went through some of the recent WaPo comments and more than a few are actually well thought out, posted by people who have more than a superficial understanding of "old records," and who would be right at home here. Some have visited Joe and others are collectors themselves.
The question, of course, is what lies ahead for Joe's collection? There's a lot of idealistic wishful thinking by those who want to see it preserved in the best possible way (myself included). Where are next week's winning Powerball numbers when we really need them?
Dust-to-Digital still as the digital version of "Fonotone Records: Frederick, Maryland (1956-1969)" available:
