And Steve, I never said that some phono collectors aren't creepy.  Some
are VERY creepy.  But after all, we here on the 78-L are RECORD
collectors, not PHONOGRAPH collectors!!!!!

And of course he is the star in HBO's Boardwalk Empire which has been 
discussed here often recently and features the music of 78s and our own 
Vince Giordano.  And the role he plays in Ghost World is modeled closely 
on R. Crum.  But even worse than the image of collectors in Ghost World 
is the documentary Vinyl by Crum's friend Alan Zweig.  It is precisely 
these films which my daughter Leah sought to counter in the documentary 
she produced "For the Record" which features some of our 78-L and ARSC 
friends.
