Indeed. This is exactly what the back yard of AFN Berlin (American
Forces Network) looked like when they piled up the AFRS 16 inchers,
poured gasoline over them and put everything ablaze, about once a  year.
I was about 18 then and worked there as a 'local helper'  for a year or
two,  programming the daily C&W show, because nobody there was familiar
with this type of music. 

I tried to 'rescue' treasures like those discs that included Uncle Dave
Macon live at the Grand Ole Opry, but wasn't successful.
