[78-L] 78-ellers in Toronto today

[David Lennick]

Well, I'm not too old to cut the mustard, but unfortunately I'm too old to eat 
it. Which makes for a somewhat boring Reuben Sandwich on occasion.

I was just listening to a couple of 78s I obtained yesterday from Don 
Chichester..got a kick out of "Unfortunate Blues" by Ladd's Black Aces.

Among the other interesting topics yesterday, Randall Stehle gave us a survey 
of college dance bands on record, and I finally got to hear Jose Ferrer's razzy 
Pied Pipers record which I barely missed on eBoom a couple of years ago.
