[78-L] Are There Still Any Operatic Collectors?

[Gene Baron]

Definitely!  I have been a great fan of opera and its historical
recordings, and bluegrass/traditional American and internaional music for a
long time.  Speaking of operatic 78s, I recall from an old Gramophone
magazine one of their opera reviewers reviewing a CD reissue of a 1910's
singer (details are foggy in my brain) and remembering that he owned the
original 78s and putting one on, and saying in conclusion, "78's ARE best".
