Re: MF collection

Thanks, Morris. Really incredible stuff. On one level it would be great to see a small museum set up to exhibit this material for fan's to visit, or some place like the National Music Museum to give it the prominence it deserves. It would sure make more sense to me than Elvis or Graceland, et. al. On another hand, some dedicated , rich, possessive Maynard fan could buy everything and no one would ever see them again, on another hand a buyer could turn around an auction off the stuff and give a lot more folks a chance to own something of the" Boss" history, etc. , or other scenarios.

Evidently the family wants to dispose of everything at once and have organized the event pretty well, I think. Let's hope for the best , respectful disposition of this rather sad chapter , coming up on the 2nd anniversary of his death in August.
