[78-L] Never Know What You'll Find

[Taylor Bowie]

Just shows...the only thing I ever found in Grass Pants was a really good 
Italian bistro and a very good and reasonable non-chain motel (think it's 
called The Redwoods).

One time I stopped in the Salvation Army store in Centralia,  Wash.  There 
was exactly one 78 in the place...an E+ copy of The Washingtonians Brunswick 
of Soliloquy.

Yes,  I asked if there were any more in the back room or elsewhere and the 
answer was no.  Record cost 25 cents (this was a while ago).
