I've watched Joe Bussard videos in the past, but haven't again until recently. Himself, his history in the music business and his 78's Record Collection is fascinating! I also collect records (mostly 33rpm) and have been picking up on 78's that nobody seems to want anymore. I took a chance on a John Fahey album in 2017 from a Record Store in Chicago while visiting. I had no idea who he was. His guitar work is phenomenal! The album I purchased is the 1967 edition of "Blind Joe Death" Vol. 1. Apparently, it's an Album not seen in the record bins very often. I had no idea that Joe Bussard had such a close relationship with John Fahey at the beginning of his career, and even produced his first recordings. I also didn't know that he recently passed away. So sorry and sad to hear of this mans passing and the passing of all that musical knowledge.
