[78-L] Newly-pressed Bix Beiderbecke 78

[David Lennick]

Bob and Ray once did an entire sketch that was played back at high speed. Not 
doubling the tape speed, which is easy but difficult to listen to..this was 
more like recording it at 33 and playing it back at 45, and then presenting it 
as "the kids" doing today's soap opera. This was around 1956.
