He was very proud of his children and grandchildren. He loved and collected jazz and wrote poetry, produced a ten records, and published 4 books of poetry. He was an avid photographer and traveled to different countries like Japan, Spain, Trinidad, etc. He is survived by his sister Dorothy and his children Jeff, Richard, Jennifer, Christine, Anastacia and grandchildren.

Attendees at the memorial will be welcomed to say a few words, read poetry, or play music in his honor.

From my end, I’m thinking of leaving the most valuable records to my children for the money, and leaving the bulk of my records/books/magazines, etc., as a donation. I’ll start researching soon, not that I’m planning to go anywhere for a long time.

Last two bidders went atomic. Wonder if the winning bidder will pay up:

Those Northern Soul and hard funk collectors have incredibly deep pockets.

I first went to J&R in the original location downtown. I found it a much hipper spot with informed help and cheap prices-a good combo.All that was lost in the move to a bigger space. It was also around the corner from Dan Serro’s home-a huge loft in one of those renovated factory buildings,with plenty of room for his massive lp collection. He was doing good bizness in the(then new)’70’s Japanese Lp import field-I’d make trips there whenever the budget allowed. Dan’s enjoying life-and his collection-in Florida now,but my memories remain fresh.

If they are valuable, They would need to put them in a rare books and manuscripts archive and use special gear. A model for this is the hogan ransom jazz archive at Tulane. When I did research there a while back, the librarians played the old 78s and LPs in the back room and CDs and then fed the sound into a listening room. This prevented theft and carelessness. Whether they used a high end dynavector, Lyra, etc cartridge is doubtful. But the donator could help out with that. Just don’t expect the nonprofit library to pay eBay prices for your collection lol. It’s meant for scholarly purposes not a cash grab. As a professor who teaches jazz history let me ask you all to consider this.

I think it is just as good as my original stereo pressing. Just different is all.

In the past selling a $10-20 record just wasn’t worth the hassle on Ebay.
