[78-L] Facebook for 78'ers, was Re: Sirius/XM cancels 40s channel

Sat Apr 5 07:58:07 PDT 2014

True, but as some have pointed out, there are days when there isn't a single 
posting on 78-L and others when there's a 5-day marathon blitz on only one 
subject, namely what is the first rock 'n' roll record. I find a lot more on 
Faceboook and I've joined only 3 of the 78-related groups.
