MAKES DYLAN COLLECTORS SOUND HALF-HEARTED?
If you think you know any over-the-top collectors of Bob Dylan rarities, consider how they measure up against the obsessive (and necessarily very rich) collectors of old blues 78s. Most of us know that these fetch big money, but this online New York Times article (adapted from yesterday's print edition) gives some interesting details, and talks to a couple of key collectors.

Cartoonist Robert Crumb lives in France in the town of Sauve (sp?).
He is a 78 rpm collector and a lover of old forms of music. He even did a comic book story about Charlie Patton: http://www.celticguitarmusic.com/patton1.htm
Crumb plays old time music and has even released albums previously with The Cheap Suit Serenaders, and more recently with a group of French musicians who play traditional French accordian based music. Pat Ford
