I remember very well.  I heard it from a friend who was a buddy of Crumb's 
from Akron, OH.  We were both bowled over by his joyous fanaticism for the 
old disks. This was about a decade before I got into music professionally, 
but I think it had an impact on my psyche (along the lines of "Hey, wouldn't 
that be cool....).
