I got to meet Mr. Bussard in Knoxville several years back. There was a joint project between Bear Family Records and the Tennessee Archive Of Moving Images and Sound. Headed then by Bradley Reeves. Got to meet Bradley, Joe Bussard, and Bear Family's founder, the superb Richard Weize. There was an exhibit "Here To Make Records" at the Knoxville History Museum, and a 78 RPM Record Show which I attended along with Richard Steinfeld. This box set was a set of the Knoxville sessions of local musicians done for Vocalion Records in the early 1930's.

"Mr 78". I've seen that posted a few times over the years. Good stuff.

Dang, I'm jealous! I have quite a few Bear Family sets.

Bussard's collection is legend - genuine legend.

As is the collection of another feller, one I've met and w/ whom I've traded a few shellacs since the late 1980s...

Kent, do you know of the 78 collector John Tefteller? A distant cousin, perhaps, from a branch of your family that decided to change the speeling of the name?

P.S. There's also renowned 78-ista Dock Ellis, but I'm not sure he's still active... or even still living.

I know of him, he's not related to me. I wish I was.
