but not who Richard Dyer-Bennet is.)
Cook's Audio Follies - include a circus callipoe, ziether solo, organ,
cimbalom, pedal harpsichord. (Sindi is not really sure what this record is,
but it's made of translucent blue vinyl, "good for decorating".)

The LPs before Hanson are actually 12". Minimum bid per record $1, minimum
total bid $5 (i. e., if you bid $3 but only want one record and you win, you
still have to pay the $5, so you may as well bid on several). The records
are at my place and you will have to pick them up there. No mailings, they
are too breakable. I am in central Ann Arbor. If you want more info I can
copy more of the record jacket for you. If you like the records but have
nothing to play them on, stop by Kiwanis for a turntable or phonograph
(cheap).

regarding the second 10" LP: Richard Dyer-Bennet was a well known
folksinger from the era of 10" albums. Is it possible that both he
and Tom Glazer are singing on the album?
(As a sidenote, Dyer-Bennet's career was ended by the blacklist after
he was named as a communist -- by Burl Ives, I think.)

Mark points out that there have been no bids for a week.
'Going'
To Orinoco: $2.50 for the Cage, $1 for Mathis
(I suggest you bid on a couple more records since you will have to pay for
them anyway)
To Scott: $2 for the audio follies, $1 for King Lear
(you may as well also bid on two more records at $1 each)
To Coyote: $1 each for Peleas, Milhaud, Harold, Portsmouth and Vaughan W.
On Mark's suggestion, the person bidding the highest amount will be allowed
first pick of any records not already bid on (there were 26, 8 were bid on,
that leaves 18, or 6 each). Coyote gets first choice of the 18, Orinico
second choice, Scott whatever is left, unless you want to raise your bids.
Scott and Orinoco can also assure they get first choice on some other record
by bidding a dollar on it, since they have bid under $5, and will not end up
payin any extra that way.

Going once on all of the bids. Tomorrow evening if there are no further bids
I will announce the winners, count up your donations, and tell you who gets
to come pay for the records first and thus have first choice on the
remainders.

Coyote: $2 Milhaud/Stravinsky, $1 Debussy, $1 Berlioz, $1 Walton, $1 Vaughan
Williams, totalling $6
Scott: $1 Griffes, $1 Sitwell, $2 Follies, $1 Lear, totalling $5
Orinoco: $2.50 Cage, $1 Mathis, totalling $3.50
(Orinoco, did you want anything else since you will be paying $5 anyway?)
Coyote gets first choice of the 15 (?) records not bid on, Scott second
choice, Orinoco third choice (or first choice on 1.5 records if he wants to
bid $1 on them). Email me to arrange payment and pickup.
Let me know if I added wrong anywhere, or missed anything.

This is confusing. Does this mean I have to personally pay keesan and then
go pick up the records?

No, you can do both at the same time and I will turn in the money after all
three of you pay and collect. I have the records here, you live close by.
Coyote and Orinoco, whom I have not met, are welcome to a tour of the house
we are building a block away from where the records are.
Group or individual tours can be arranged.

Orinoco gets Howard Hanson, leaving 5 records for Coyote as free extras, and
five records for eitherr Scott or Orinoco, whoever shows up first, and four

I have a few more records (duplicates) to give away (but I want to listen to
them one more time first and Jim took apart my turntable to fix it).

Coyote just picked up his five records and chose what he wanted from those
that had not been bid on. He says if anyone really wanted anything he took
to let him know and they can have it. This leaves Griffes, Sitwell, Follies
and King Lear for Scott and Cage, Mathis and Howard Hanson for Orinoco. I
can probably deliver to Scott at the next board meeting (Tuesday at 7?) but
would Orinoco please schedule a pickup.
I added the Beethoven Symphonies (NBC Symphony Orchestra, is it world
famous?) and Carmen and a few other things to the (much shrunken) pile.
Thanks to all of you for giving Jim the impetus to fix my turntable
so I could sort through my own collection (with deadline).

The NBC Symphony Orchestra is only famous if it is being conducted by
Arturo Toscanini. Actually, I have never heard of the NBC Symphony Orchestra
in any other context; Toscanini made a series of famous radio performances.
