[78-L] Average age

[Michael Biel]

Well, unless you can prove that the radio was nearby on when you were
born, I KNOW that the night before I was born I attended a gala opera
concert at Lewisohn Stadium in NYC.  My parents remembered that Jan
Peerce performed, and earlier this year when I was researching thru the
NY Times I found the ad for the concert.  It was a Philharmonic-Symphony
Orch concert "A Night In Italy" that featured not only Peerce but
Giuseppe De Luca.  Also Marie Rondahl and Claramae Turner, with
Alexander Smallens conducting.  Tickets were 30 cents up to a top of
$1.80.  My mother's doctor was furious when he found out she had been
there the day before going into labor, but I probably enjoyed the
concert.

I started to collect records a few minutes before I was born.
It was about 7.30 pm on September 8, 1951, the radio was playing "March 
Of The Cards" with The Three Suns (British pressing HMV B 10 095), I 
liked the sound of it and decided I must get the record as soon as I got

out.
I made this up?
No, at the time of my birth Sweden only had one radio station and I've 
been able to check the play lists. The record is still in the radio 
archives, Doggy and all.
