[78-L] Tefteller strikes again

[Matthew Duncan]

i agree with this opinion....must be great to talk about your impressive collection/show off a bit from time to time but even more so when you had to go that extra mile for every record you found ....instead of just having the bucks all the time....and Vernon Dalhart is great...
 
I reckon it is often the case that the collectors with the ingenuity and hard work on a constant basis (e.g. your Palmer example and I will add another, Joe Bussard) thankfully preserve this stuff for future generations and it's not about the money/value/big bucks aspect it's about getting hold of this music and using many methods to get it...then enjoy it and enable other people to do the same....
 
but i agree Tefteller does a lot just by obtaining this stuff...all these rare gems need to *survive*.....that's the first port of call....
 
matt.

To me, spending a ton of money on a rare record is not all that impressive. If you have the bucks, the effort is not all that great. What impresses me is a guy like Jack Palmer, who assembled a never-to-be-duplicated collection of Vernon Dalhart records using ingenuity, persistence, and tenacity. There are probably thousands of discs in his collection that wouldn't be worth the same, cumulatively as well monetarily, as the D.A. Hunt Sun 45, but are much more valuable in the long run to collectors and music historians.
