[78-L] Collectors and 'hoarders'

[George Anglin]

Ah, yes, record fans. Those hundreds of unwanted records. Back in the 60's two or three of us would pile into my 49' hudson twin HH convertible with a stack of worn out or cracked records and head out on the highway to an old Stuckey's Pecan Pralines billboard sign and sail them at it until the Jack Daniels ran dry then go home. I believe the Columbia rice paper laminates were good for two or more tosses.       Oh, on a new thread: Any one know the personnel with B.A. Rolfe's Lucky Strike orchestra between 1928 thru 1932? I'm looking to find out who his double bell euphonium player was. Don't think it was John "Lop" Jarman tho Thanks for any help. George Anglin Packard Marmon

No problem with that here! Over the years mainland US production of milk 
has lowered the cost per unit to the point that producing milk locally 
is a thing of the past. The big grocery chains put local milk production 
out of business and there are virtually no more dairies in Hawaii. All 
them milk crates are free now!
