[78-L] Lost sheep and the daily Grinderino

[Taylor Bowie]

I've looked through my sparse collection of sound effects records and find 
no such things...my favorite of all of them is the Gennett of  flocks of 
sheep...both a small group and a pretty big group.  If you tune in closely 
to one side you can actually hear someone urging them to make more noise.  I 
also enjoy some of  my  later ones (forget the label) of restaurant noises, 
including the ever-popular dropping of a full tray of dishes.

David's statement that he might have missed something by Signor Grinderino 
reminds me of a line I recall from some 30s movie which I saw on TV when I 
was a kid.  A racketeer has been chatting with a crusading newspaper 
reporter,  and as the racketeer is about to be driven away in his limo,  he 
rolls down the window and says to the reporter:   "You know,  I never miss 
your column.  I never read it....and I never miss it."

Not to be construed as bashing Signor G...I have several records under that 
name which I enjoy.
