Remarks From A Member

[billybob62]

I would like to make a few remarks after being on this board for over a year
First, I want to publicly give praise to everyone on this board for their polite and helpful responses to all my questions.
In addition, thanks to two wonderful guys named Jerry Blais and Cliff Bolling who really helped me in so many ways.
And thirdly Kudos to a very modest guy, Norman Bruderhofer of Berlin Phonoworks who, as a hobby, lovingly produces exquisite Cylinder Records of many rare recordings and delivers them unfailingly unscathed by the USPS. I am almost 80 but I think everyone should support Normans products without hesitation. There may come a day when his records may become truly treasured and rare. The worldwide economy looks very shaky to me and many things we take for granted such as Normans cylinders and Vulcan Cylinders, as well,might just disappear

So Thanks to all and especially Jerry, Cliff and Norman.

I hope I have not improperly posted this here.

Well said, John. I concur! I know there are things that talented individuals have made over the years (that are no longer made) and I kick myself for not having acquired them when I had the opportunity.

Regards,
Martin

I totally agree...I will also mention that Norman makes great cylinders and am looking forward to "Honey" when it is released.

I have just about every cylinder Norman has released, and all are amazing. While I own some great original Edison and Columbia cylinders, I will say that between Berlin, Vulcan and Edisonia, there are enough great titles that one would not have to own one original cylinder. The many popular titles, quality of recordings and durability are great.

All my dealings with Jerry B has been extremely helpful and my collection has grown because of him as well.
