Waited too long. NY Times soaked. Sigh. 10 minutes in microwave, it was steaming news on the table.

Big obit: "Alan Lomax, the legendary collector of folk music who was the first to record towering figures like Leadbelly, Muddy Waters and Woody Guthrie, died yesterday at a nursing home in Sarasota, Fla. He was 87." http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/20/obituaries/20LOMA.html

And from the day before: "Seymour Solomon, who with his brother, Maynard, founded Vanguard Records in 1950 and turned it into the dominant label for American folk music, recording such artists as Joan Baez, Odetta, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Ian & Sylvia, died yesterday at his summer home in Lenox, Mass. He was 80 and lived in Manhattan." http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/19/obituaries/19SOLO.html

I still have a bunch of Vanguard LPs.
