Once upon a time he was.  He used to be Radio Yesteryear, as well as 
Radiola Records, Sandy Crook Records, Video Yesteryear, Reel Video, and 
my favorite, Class X Video.  He sometimes used the name Michael 
Raphone.  (Mike Raphone.  Get it?)  But about ten years ago he "sold" 
his "collection" to Radio Spirits when it was owned by Carl Amari.  J. 
David pledged to stay out of the OTR business for perhaps ten years, 
since all he really turned over to RS were dubs.  This web site is his 
overall collection, and he has kept his word and has turned down many 
requests to sell things, and the current owners of RS is not interested 
right now in selling individual items on request.  He did donate about 
10,000 discs to the Marr Archive at the Univ of Mo-Kansas City last year.

As I mentioned, these "nine programs" seem to be the material on the 
Library of Congress web site, and you might as well get them from the 
same place he got 'em.

By the way, I wish someone can explain to me how he got my WORK DISC of 
speed tests of the 1925 Ed McConnell Columbias (which he thinks were WSP 
broadcasts.)
