[78-L] First 78's

I see a trend. It appears that more than one of us became interested in 
some of the music that was readily available in the home and branched 
out from their. Learned behavior.

Their records reflected these interests and they were always playing their records and I became fascinated with western swing, quartet singing and hot dance music especially twenties and thirties dance bands and of course the peerless and the american quartet which were very common on victor during the teens and early twenties. My collection contains about 8000 records and I file using 3 by 5 inch cards by artist and copying down the record numbers and the titles. I don't cross index. I file the records by label, earliest first to the latest. I'm computer savvy however I've used the card {library} system for nearly 55 years now and can't be bothered with changing anything. Yes, I'm still collecting and thanks to you-all for the reminiscing and information about your collections. George Anglin
