    working on a pink floyd collection, got to 1971-08-06 - Hakone Open Air Festival - Kanagawa, Japan. Apparently a co-bill with the 1910 Fruit Gum Company!

    I smiled quietly to myself when I saw this.

    When I was a lad of 16, working in a gas station, I changed a tire for a guy and in his trunk he had two collections.

    One was the Glenn Miller you mentioned and the other was a Benny Goodman collection (the Golden age of Swing..... limited edition!!!)

    These are NOT 33 LP's, they are soft cover books with 45's. Most have two songs per side. The books are less than mint, but the records seem fine.

    They don't appear to be worth anything :-(

    We had a radio show down here done by an old guy (the collector), and he played old stuff from the 20's to the 40's off old 78's. Since I have about 700 78's I called one night to ask him about them. He said records made after ww 2 weren't worth anything since they made tons. But ones made during the war are worth something since the material used was needed in the war effort.

    ps - my sister got me all four phish lp on lp........... as soon as I get a turntable up and running!!

    Good find Vguy! My folks had tons of his stuff that is now mine, even some 78s. I need to get an old Dual turntable or the like to spin those 78s. My Philips only does 33 and 45rpm. Haven't looked that one up yet but I'm guessing it is a rarity since it is from his Army Air Corp days. Most folks don't know the US Air Force name didn't start until after WW2. IMHO Glenn had the coolest smoothest sound of all the big bands and wasn't afraid to jazz it up. I have found numerous box treasures at the Salvation Army and Goodwill type stores for next to nothing. Good hunting!
    Cheers
    Edit: A couple on Fleabay. Good one - $20.90 + $5. shipping, Crappy damaged box - $10. + $10. shipping. Pristine would add a premium for sure. Never seen that record.

    A scream to remember. Papa's Will, by Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes from the album Survival of the Fittest, recorded in East Detroit on Jerry's birthday, 1970. Very scary. Scary, scary. lol

    For comparison, the last time Miami got into the playoffs...

    ....was when Dave's Picks 17-20 was released. Fresno, Orpheum, Honolulu and Boulder. Think about that.
    Gonna play Hawaii now.

    Nah...

    No need to scream vguy
    The Dolfings won

    Oh, and dah Bills too

    Because Buffalo has been through a mass shooting deadly snowstorm and a near-death of one of their football players, I am backing them in the post season.

    If the Seahawks get eliminated, that is.

    You know the Seahawks will get knocked out today...

It's a good thing there is a new thread to comment on. I was not going to let that disrespect of the Second Set of Augusta slide. Tragedy narrowly averted.

I spent the last week and a half with my parents.. at one point I had to pull out a Garcia quote from, I think, Harpur College, 1970..

"Now, now kids, don't fight." It worked perfectly until one of them asked for their allowance.

Once they turn out lights and everybody leaves.. it's so much easier to fire up a fattie. Just saying.

Don’t make me come down there!

Once while home with pops before he went into assisted living…usually after I’d get him his dinner/meds etc, and he’d go to bed early. That was my time to make a fire in the basement family room, put on some dead, spark up, and finally be able let it all go and relax.
Well one day just as I’m getting ready to fire up, I hear this huge crash and then hear all this yelling and banging etc. Turns out he got up for some reason and the rug slipped out off the hardwood floor and he fell and split the top of his head open. Needless to say we called 911, which sucked, but would have been a whole lot worse if I’d just fired up and had tunes playing lol.
Besides making him wait in ER all night, he just needed a few stitches and he was fine. The upshot was that it lead him to decide to go to assisted living. He Being a safety consultant, I’d been trying to work the whole “it’s not safe being alone anymore” and “what if I hadn’t been here” angle on him. This unfortunate incident finally, literally, knocked some sense into him ; )

Reminds me of childhood vacations

The rents and four kids in an old station wagon on a cross country trip...

We never made it out of the neighborhood before somebody would fart, then immediately got punched in the arm.. Mayhem would always ensue and with either end with a parent reaching his/her arm to be back seat and smacking the crap out of someone or god forbid pull over. .... and that's how it would usually begin....

Let's not even get into the tunes... FM radio at it's finest.

I was around for the poorer part of family life and never went on vacations.

My younger brother and sister went every year. (at some point mom said they were going away every year no matter what!,,,, I was 16 and working so I didn't go.

Years later my sister was singing along to some of the Polish Prince (Bobby Vinton), and I was like how you know this shit. Turned out the old man made a 6 or so 8 track tapes with a recorder I bought him. On these road trips they would listen to those tapes over and over and over. Sorry NO FM radio!!!

The smell of a freshly lit Parliament cigarette is good.
Not so much after the parents exhaled that first puff.
AM radio only in our cars then, and it was never on.
Same trip every year. Always on or near July 4. Virtually all fireworks were legal then, even M-80s. St. Louis to the Ozarks, then to Van Buren, MO where the other G-pa lived. Big Spring State Park was cool. And floating on the Current River (now part of the Mark Twain Nat'l. Riverway), very clear water and you could see to the bottom. Now all you can see is beer cans down there.

Ha,1stShow, I canoed the Current and the Buffalo several times ca. early '70s with my scout troop out of the Chicago suburbs. What gorgeous water. Like you say, so incredibly clear. For the record, you could see a whole lot of beer cans on the bottom back then! It's a strong memory. Like good scouts we were wondering if any them were full! And then all the cool caves, including one you could canoe into.
A blue Ford Country Squire wagon was the family vehicle in the late 60s into early 70s. Some raucous cross country trips with the siblings in the back of that beast.. No memory of the radio though.

My cousin is renovating the farm. Can't be sold except to the N.S.R.
G-pa's Rexall store was right on the river in Van Buren. (pop. 723)
Bob the black lab sat in a rocker on the porch "counting cars".
The side of the family that had bootleggers. I'm so proud!
Cheers
