[78-L] Dumbest thing you've ever done to a 78, was Re: R Johnson auction

[David Lennick]

A gorgeous late pressing of Whiteman doing the Mississippi Suite came to grief 
one day when I rolled my chair forward and the wheel base came in contact with 
the record. There went THAT compilation.

Not ponying up 70 cents (35 per disc) for Carpenter's "Skyscrapers" on Program 
Transcription one Saturday afternoon in 1962 was pretty dumb.

Not buying the transcription collection I was offered about 10 years ago which 
included a presentation set of lacquers of the Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall 
Concert (plus the program) fits in there as well, although the stakes were 
slightly higher.
