   Take a few minutes and sort them out. Dumpster ALL of the big band stuff.   
   Anything that looks like early Rock & Roll or blues, put on Ebay or list   
   here so that someone can buy them.   
   I could shingle my house with all the big band 78's that people brought to   
   me thinking that they were valuable.   
   I also know of an old woman who threw out a bunch of Elvis, Bill Haley, and   
   Muddy Waters 78's but kept the big band stuff because "the music is much   
   prettier". I showed her a record price guide and she turned green.
