[78-L] 78s - on hold!

[David Lennick]

Isn't it possible that a satellite station, or that little bitty station 
somewhere in California, has turned up on these systems?

Years ago there was a chain called Mother's pizza, which opened locations 
around southern Ontario (maybe elsewhere) and cornered the market on 
bric-a-brac, old spinning wheels, tiffany lamps and what have you, and 
programmed oldies on its sound system, except that they never changed the tapes 
and probably used only the Decca DEA-7-1/3 sets. I got to dread Judy Garland's 
Stompin' at the Savoy because I heard it every time I ate there. The pizzas 
were good though.
