Matt just sent this out:
...
When I was forced out of WDET, I lost about one third of my CD library. For the first 14 years or so of my run at WDET I checked EVERYTHING into their library...even stuff I purchased or was sent directly to me. WDET was kind enough to give me some of it back, but they held on to most of it. ...

and he's asking for donations. (He says he doesn't even own any Stan Rogers. Still downtown on Cass Ave.) WEMU used to have a folk library, but they unloaded it during a big sale during a Heritage Festival some years back. (Lots of LPs, remember those?)

Of course I sent it to wdetfm@wdetfm.org.

Fulfilling my "pledge" was enormously satisfying. I took markers and wrote "Folks Like Us" and "Arkansas Traveler" on the $1.00 bill. Hope they spend it well.
