Ah, George, now don't go bragging about your Holmesian collection again, especially after Fox Confessor was among the albums lost when I was cut down to an angry inch. But this isn't a bad list (with a couple of Ahab contributions) at all. I know it's not Friday, but it's a holiday weekend, so sorry this is late and lazy.
