[78-L] 78 Sale

[simmonssomer]

Unbelievable. The Universities "can no longer house" 78 rpm records.".
I guess they can only house kids paying $48,000 per year.
Maybe if we offered them 50 cents per record per year they would be willing 
to house  them.
Perhaps a nationalized "78 rpm Housing Fund" would do it.
I'll put in the first dollar. That would provide a home for two records for 
a whole year.
You can help.
Just send those dollars to me. Remember you are contributing to our musical 
heritage.
Think of that kid in Bolivia who never heard a 78.
