[78-L] Most Prized Record

[Ron L]

Ah, now you've put me on the spot and the truth will come out.  I am a
phonograph collector and if there were a fire, I'd have the Victor type 6 in
my hands before anything else.  I amass records, nothing is cataloged.  Once
a disk (disc) or cylinder comes in, it may never be found again.   When I
was a teenager, I could remember which stack had which record and
approximately where in the pile the record I wanted was.  I can't do that
any more.   I do plan to reform though, in 4 years+ when I retire, part of
what will keep me busy will be to catalog records.

Guess I'm the only one was able to pick one and only one record. I'm sure
everyone has dozens of records that they are particularly fond of, otherwise
we wouldn't be collectors, would we? Let's put it this way - if there was a
fire in your house and you had to time to grab ONE record, what would it be?
Think hard. It's an unfair question to ask, but force yourself.

I couldn't choose one, so here's a half dozen:

Banjoreno (Dixieland Jug Blowers)
Puttin' On The Ritz (Leo Reisman)
Singin' In The Bathtub (Bennie Nawahi)
Aloha Oe (Toots Paka)
Talk To Me Baby (Elmore James)
Dark Was The Night - Cold Was The Ground (Blind Willie Johnson)
