I collect 78s just for the fun of it. Unlike 45s (don't collect Lps 
at all!) , where I may collect to get a full run of a label or 
artist, with 78s because it is broad a field in terms of years and 
genres, I just love getting a 'junk box' and sorting through it, 
listening to everything, and finding new faves.

I think its also because I am very bitter and biased about radio. 
After all, these isn't the stuff that Joe, Bob, or Jack, who lie when 
they say 'We play anything', will ever play. I believe the music 
should live on in hearts, and be played! By buying and collecting 
records it will.
