I had been canvassing more as I could afford it. I hadn't learned to drive
yet, so I hit various
parts of town using a three speed bicycle for transportation just to get
some feel for the place.
Up towards north Memphis I knocked on the door of a lady who had just thrown
her records in
the garbage. She volunteered to show me where. We went out back, and she
lifted up the
garbage can lid. I took a look and then reached and pulled up half a dozen
78's she had placed
neatly in the bottom of the garbage can. Fortunately nothing else had been
thrown out onto them
as yet, and for the then price of a quart of milk I walked away with a V+
Joe Evans record and a
few other good ones as well.
