Here's a toast to those  60 Years of Music LPs...the first place I ever 
heard the Berigan of  "I Can't Get Started" as well as the Goodman/Ella 
Fitzgerald of "Good Night,  My Love."  And also,  as I recall,  the Casals 
version of The Swan.

Although they were really just advertising records for RCA,  they also were 
pretty educational for this then 7-year old who loved all kinds of music.
