You have heard from Tradsinger, one of this country's greatest living collectors. I know both Sam and Tradsinger well and know how valuable their work is, along with others mentioned. If gaining publicity and 'crowd-funding' means that this valuable work can continue I am all for it.

GUEST! You mention Peter Kennedy. All of us would agree with your assessment of his contribution, BUT, and it's a big but, most of us are still grateful that he gathered so much material that might have been lost. There are many critics of Sharp's methods and the way he promoted the material under false premises, but not one of us would deny the wonderful contribution he made and the publicity he gained for it.

It's easy to snipe like this from an anonymous position. What's your contribution to the subject???
