[78-L] Picking up 78s next week

[Malcolm - Venerable Music]

Hey Bill - wow! That sounds like a great score & a mammoth undertaking! I've 
moved 5000-7000 in a day (and with one truck) but never in the neighborhood 
of 15,000!
How are you going to get them back to Texas? I'd think it's gonna take one 
of the bigger rental trucks because of the weight limits - or several 
trips??
Congratulations and best of luck with the move!
Malcolm

Early next week I'm traveling to New Orleans to pick up the remnants of a
juke box distributorship.  The guy I'm buying it from says there are 30,000
78s (and a few thousand 45s) but I'm thinking the number will be closer to
15-20,000.  They are in a warehouse apparently undisturbed for many, many
years.  We are going to have to move a lot of furniture and parts of Mardi
Gras floats to get to them.  I looked through about a thousand from several
spots and found a mix of commons and brokens but also found enough
interesting 78s in good shape that I took the chance to buy them.

I'll send a follow-up post next week.  What I find fascinating is the games
my mind is playing going through all the possible good things I'll "find."
When I look through 78s I always keep my expectations low and that has
served me well.  We'll see what we will see.

And no, there isn't any flood damage.  It's near the oldest part of the
city which was built on the highest ground.  We'll see what we will see.
