Hi Mike,
   More details: What has happened is that Dave Eisner makes a deal with the heirs. He bought the collection, and then sold it piecemeal through his store.

   This has several benefits. First, the heirs get something, probably more than from anyone who isn't really knowledgeable about this stuff. Second, the stuff stays within the music community, not sent off to either the dumpster or to people who won't appreciate it. Third, the people in the music community can find things that they really like that aren't available any other way. (Oh, yeah, Dave makes something, too.)

   I've got a note put in the same place as my will. My heirs can take anything they want. Everything else goes to Dave to get sold.

   I don't know whether Dave would be interested in stuff from the British Isles, but I'd sure hope so. I also don't know of any similar stores across the pond that could sell it well.
