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.
