[78-L] You know you can't stop collecting 78s when..

[David Lennick]

Once again it's time to mention the cautionary tale of the collector Graham and 
I knew, who died while living in his car because his house was packed to the 
rafters with records. It really happened, folks. And by the way, there were a 
lot of water-damaged ones in the basement, most of which could have been 
salvaged but the family and friends had been filling dumpsters before we got to 
see any of it. Graham has photos.

Hard to do as I picked up about a thousand LPs&  45's from somewhere on south 50 that was way out in farm&  ranch country about 150 miles from my home. Not looking for huge record hauls (any speed including 78's) lately as I honestly have much more than I could ever play in my lifetime. But I do pick up records to feed my addiction from time to time&  no I never want to be cured from the passion of used record collecting......
