Keep a close eye on the cockknockers you let in that place. People can't be trusted. Some fat slob could visit the library 3 times a week and be makin' 1000 bucks a week on e-bay. budget item #1 - security cameras

I've been researching our Raymond Scott stuff at the UMKC facilities since the mid-1990s — it was a kick to see this footage — well done!

Very Kool! Sure am glad the there is a library like this. Maybe a more indepth new video about the library could be made. Maybe a video about all the different phonographs and other equipment could be made. I could do without that lesbo Kelley.
