The three P's of seeking out recordings...

...are persistence, perseverance, and patience. They are all extremely important, although the last one perhaps more so. Currently I am trying to get a copy of an extremely rare recording from someone. After two months of back and forth, I got the first song last week and am eager to get the rest, but don't want to push the person away, so I'm being patient. It's hard to do, but I'm hoping in the end it will be worth it...
