[78-L] "Boardwalk Empire" WOW!

[David Lennick]

And you heard Sophie from a CYLINDER, don't forget. But it was the old fluttery 
transfer I remember playing in the sixties.

Fabulous stuff. I'll catch the last 15 minutes of it tomorrow. Curses and a 
plague on HBO for running it into Mad Men's time.

Our buddy Vince Giordano is part of the live music..no doubt he's lending some 
authenticity to the record selections as well.
