The Mezzanine Record Fair was an amazing time, and TRS caught up with one of the record vendors who has a tremendous record collection and a great contextual knowledge of all elements (or genres) in black music. Check out this really cool chat between TRS host Leon and Mr. Dan Byrd. Mr. Byrd will be returning to the show for part 2 of the TRS Collector Conversations series.
