The Microphone Museum is in Milwaukee – one man’s collection, open only by appointment. I visited it in 2017, after @plural’s suggestion.pic.twitter.com/HxVJbpH9e8

And I keep thinking about this “too excited” bit. I’ve always thought of museums as places that benefit the visitors. You pay the ticket, and get something in return. But maybe, in this one case, both him and I got something out of my visit.pic.twitter.com/cdhjCiMrye
The whole world situation made me think of getting older. I don’t know how many got a tour from Mr. Paquette in the last year of his life, but either way: if I ever get to be 87, I gather it’d be nice for a stranger to make me excited again about something that defined my life.pic.twitter.com/zjVTPuPc8B
One person’s museum is another person’s junkyard. I see now what this one was to both of us: a few hours of reminiscing for Mr. Paquette then, and for me – a belated appreciation, a nice memory, and a set of photos developed only many years down the road, at a time I needed them.
Rest in peace, Mr. Paquette. I’m glad I got to know you and your collection during those few hours of one Wisconsin winter.pic.twitter.com/TZbL2PE3Ui
