Right. And I don't have a copy of that missing Buddy Bolden & Buddy Guy 
pairing doing "Buddy Can You Spare A Dime" on a Pink Lambert cylinder, 
produced by Buddy Sorrell. What's that you say? Bolden died before Guy 
was born? Sorrell was a fictional character?
Rare? You wanna talk rare?? Hooboy is that rare.
Mmmmm, rare,
