section, written by Lee Ranaldo, called "I Just Wanna See
It" about the acetate disc Bob, Larry Kegan, and Howie Rutman
made in December, 1956 in Hibbing. I was surprised to not be able to
find an online version of this 4-minute recording. It's not totally
clear to me from the section whether the Tulsa museum has the disc
itself. Ranaldo writes, "Finally, after tugging repeatedly on a
few sleeves, I did get to see a images of the actual disc," and
the section has what looks like a photo of it, but has the caption
"Original painting by Duncan Hannah of The Jokers acetate
recorded at Terlinde Music December 24, 1956." Ranaldo then
writes, "I managed to hear it a bunch of times as well, across
many weeks." But it's not clear if the museum has the acetate
locked away and gave him access to it, or if they played a digital
version of it for him, or what.

first Larry Kegan had the disc, but gave it to Louie Kemp, who kept it
in a safe deposit box for decades, then gave it back to Kegan just
before Larry died. But Ranaldo says nothing about how (or if) it went
from Kegan to the Tulsa museum.. I posted this at Expecting Rain, so
maybe someone there knows more about it.

Agreed, and JLA Forums is another worthy successor to Google Groups.
