[78-L] Brian Rust RIP

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Brian took the time and was quick in helping budding discographers with 
vexing questions about the field (like moi!). He was able to fill in 
gaps in data and accepting of new info on material he'd researched years 
before any of us were doing it.
I still hope he'll eventually be knighted for his work and service.
A couple of years ago he had to go into nursing care - some minor 
strokes I was told - and that, in the end,  the last thing he wanted to 
talk about was discography!
So, a raised glass and a tip of the hat to Sir Brian!
He is certainly deserving of our honor.
Malcolm
