Gene,

I do not know anything about your taste in jazz. But, I knowing your choices
in ugly shirts, I agree with you. 

Still, I love the bazaar collector that we see around the world. It confirms
that people love their area of interest, and don't understand the rest of
us.

Simply having a bunch of stuff in your attic does not make your house a
museum.  If it did, I'd be writing to you from the Dillenburg Museum of Ugly
Shirts and Old Jazz CDs.  If it doesn't have exhibits open to the public, it
ain't a museum.
