     I really like Jolson.  He has a bad rep now (blackface and all that) but   
   he was a major player in the day.

     Of course you know the story of how Eskimo's judge a cold night?   
     A regular cold night is a one dog night.  A colder night is a two dog   
   night.  A really cold night is a three dog night.

   early '80s. . .)   
      
     I have a lot of old LP's in the closet.     
     For some years I had no record player.   
     Being of old time radio fan I bought a retro radio/phonograph and planned   
   on ripping the LP's to .mp3.  Basically my favourite tracks. That has never   
   happened, years later.   
     One time I collected 78s and an extensive collection of early Frank   
   Sinatra.  Those all disappeared over the years.  Some broke, nost lost.   
     I could buy 78s at the Salvation Army thrift store in the '60s for a   
   nickel each.  No one wanted them at that time.

      Mine are from the early 20th C. up to about 1980.  I am particularly   
   fond of the '20s, '30s and '40s.
