Why, 78s of course, Bryn!

Those are the ONLY records that'll play on my Victrola here!



(...funny thing, but every time I crank this baby up, my dog Moose comes runnin' up to it 'cause he expects to hear "His Master's Voice" comin' outta the thing!!!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

My grandad had a posh version of one of those, it had a cabinet and everything.
I was allowed to listen to it once

I really wish when my uncle and aunt sorted out my grans things they'ed thought about asking if anyone wanted it, rather than letting it go to a house clearance bloke.

I'm sad now (and drunk (again ))

Everyone knows Linda Ronstadt has done many covers of other artists music and made them more widely known than the original. This one wasn't a big hit on the radio or anything but the original of "Roll Um Easy" by Lowell George still gives me goosebumps: Little Feat - Roll Um Easy
