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

[David Lennick]

I stopped in an antikew store in a mining town (forget the name) in Idaho and 
found interesting sheet music and a Mario Lanza radio station promo package 
(with the biography side narrated by Johnny Victor) for a few bucks. And on 
display, with a $15 price tag, was "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny". Naturally.
