[78-L] Diary of a record collector; was 78rpm relocation.....

[Darrell Lehman]

I've seen some funny things on 78-L and I've seen some stupid things 
here as well.  I don't know which category the following series of 
e-mails falls into for you but I was rolling on the floor, milk coming 
out my nose.

I'm sure most of you know Tyrone Settlemier for his great "Links" page.  
What you may not know is that Tyrone's been "into" records since before 
he could even see them play - he was so young he had to be lifted up so 
he could see the turntable of the Victrola going around!  It was funny 
to watch him then and it's even funnier to think of him on his porch in 
Dallas.

enjoy!  Darrell (nickjay)

Hey Darrell,

On your way, if you want to swing by Dallas, I've got another 300 here 
that need to go  :-)

1:00 PM  <sitting on front porch>
1:15  serious pins and needles
2:30  have lost all feeling in legs
4:45  want to get up and get a sandwich, find out I can't move
5:00  wooden chair I'm sitting on breaks, realize I made a poor choice 
of a bum-rester.  The fall of 2 tons of shellac effectively amputates my 
legs. That's OK, I wasn't going anywhere anyway.
5:45  Getting woozy
6:30  Goodbye cruel world!

7:30 Darrell's van shows up.  Wife helps load American Record Company 
discs, Berliners, Polyphone cylinder collection, Electric 1920s Jazz 
Okehs, and 1930s Victor test pressings, and assortment of other 
miscellaneous recordings.  "Too bad there's no room left for those discs 
on the porch" says Darrell.
