RE: Great stuff as usual, and thanks for the history. I have a Billie Holiday

I have several Billie Holiday V-Discs, and many of the other top musicians of the day. Frank Sinatra in particular was very prolific and enthusiastically supported the V-Disc effort.

My first V-Discs (a half dozen) were acquired among a collection of about 1,200 records I purchased years ago. About a year ago, a lady in Las Vegas posted a for-sale offer on the RCG (Record Collector's Guild) website. She had about 170 V-Discs to sell. After several phone calls we agreed on a price and she shipped three large & heavy boxes of V-Discs to me in Wyoming via Media Mail.

It's been a fascinating journey exploring all this wonderful music performed and recorded for the troops.
