WHY in God's nane would that hoarder have his collection destroyed upon his death?!!! That is just so cruel and completely unreasonable! It's hard enough to believe there are people selfish enough to refuse to share their collection with other fans, but what does anyone have to gain by having it destroyed after they're gone?! No, Larry, I certainly won't give up hope that the Jimmy Dean tapes and other gems will surface one day. There is a "Best Of Jimmy Dean" DVD collection that does have the fottage of Jim singing "Welcome To My World", but' that's all. The quality is very good, in my opinion, but I'm sure it could be improved upon.There were some complete episodes of the show released as well, but the one with Jim wasn't one of them.
