[78-L] Silly Season on eBay

Thu Mar 17 10:00:21 PDT 2011

I recall that copy...it had a chip in it which went into the Georgia Brown 
side a few grooves.  The person who bought it has played it for me...I think 
he got a great deal,  even with the damage.

I have a nice copy for which I really splurged on a paper auction about ten 
years ago...I've never regretted spending the dough.
