I keep hearing about that story... that bad?

Check it out for yourself. Sadly its not his worst by any means.

Of course the fact the author is lits biggest ass-hat prejudices a lot of us so you decide.

It's very racist, very bad.

Once more, I'm sorely disappointed with you people.

Especially the old-timers who might actually remember this song.

Now, Now Miss Good Witch I would help with anything short of violence. I fell for "help me get my stuff out of the house while he is in jail for domestic abuse" the first time and the woman running screaming "he's going to kill me" across the grocery store parking lot the second. Moral support, a shoulder to cry on, a ride in an emergency, just about anything short of having to deck someone for her I would do.

And yes Grand Pa with the Golden Gloves belt I hear you rolling in your grave and realize I need to learn to do more with the left than jab.

Oh Glynndah,
You couldn't possibly know this from the first time it was aired.
I can and I still have the LP record (for the benefit of those too young, you might refer to is as "on vinyl".).

can u link it?

I looked for "Oh Daddy" but didn't find it. I'll check urs out, but gay male probably won't do it for me. I'm curious to see that point of view, but as a woman, it'll be harder to relate. I've done a brief gay scene in the middle of group sex in my non-human story, and a little bi-male, but it's a little challenging for me. Ur stories might help my next installment, since the pack master is gay & he'll probably be featured again.

The Wizard of Oz was made in 1939, and the old bat wasn't exactly a spring chicken even then.

If you want to find it, find a post by scouries. Click onto his "view profile"

In it he has a link that says "scouriesworld" it will take you to his stories.

Big laugh there HP. I went through my albums with my son, showing him how careful we had to handle everything, not like today. He picked up some really old ones and wanted to know what was on them and I had to tell him my turntable wouldn't go that slow, or that fast. He picked ones that were made for 16 and 78 rpm's. He just looked at me like, why? It's been a learning experience to say the least. He asked why I still had them, if I didn't have a way to play them. I picked one up and he asked who the old goof was with the pipe and the Xmas hat was. I said it was Bing Crosby, singing White Christmas. he said so? I said it's really rare to have an original on 78 speed in near mint condition. One word made sense to him. Money.

... I said it was Bing Crosby, singing White Christmas. he said so? I said it's really rare to have an original on 78 speed in near mint condition. One word made sense to him. Money.

I have stereo equipment that plays 78s, 45s and 33s. I have mono equipment that plays 78s, 45s. 33s and 16s.

I have a wind-up gramophone that plays 78s and gets used once or twice a year at events. It can be adjusted to play 80s - some records were recorded at 80 rpm instead of 78.

78 rpm records aren't that rare in the UK. There is a boot fair in our town tomorrow morning. I would be surprised if there weren't a few dozen 78s for sale, usually at twenty to fifty pence each. I don't bother to buy them because I already have about 1,000 including many acoustic ones pressed before 1914, some single-sided ones from before 1900 (Single sided ones were produced from the same masters up to 1939, but I have original pressings). I don't have any real rarieties but many very good condition ones.

My Elvis 78s were worn out decades ago, as were my Buddy Hollys. The singing dogs are still in good condition because they were played so rarely, as is "The Farmyard Quartet" of 1912 - it was a revoltingly awful record in 1912, it still is. But Chaliapin, Terrazini, Dame Nellie Melba - they are still worth hearing and no transcription gives me the same feeling as hearing their voices from a pressing of the original recording.

PS I have about six copies of White Christmas.

Mom always said to hang on to it, it would be worth something one day. I think it's stayed about the same price since new, lol

Probably true.

There were millions of copies produced of White Christmas. You can download exactly the same recording now or listen to it on YouTube.

The only 78rpm records worth anything are the rarities such as early Elvis, early Rock and Roll, early recordings of artists that later became great - but even they have dropped in value over the last decade because people can't play the 78s any more.

 

[lovecraft68]

Ah the collectable market, my bitterness knows no end.

Back when I was first selling comics in my late teens you could get guide or close to it for a rare book. Now its whatever someone will pay.

E-bay has destroyed every hobby there is value wise. What creates value? Scarcity. How can something be scarce when e-bay has millions of sellers?

Back in the day a collector would pay good money for that elusive comic, coin, baseball card etc.... if you saw it at a show your heart would leap and you woudl be thrilled to buy it.

Now search anything and there are hundreds available in every condition imaginable.

My strategy now is I have to buy a collection at a cheap enough price that I can just start everything at .99 and get what I can get.

I have a record of the 1967 Red Sox Impossible Dream season. My father kept insisting it would be worth a fortune. Last I looked on e-bay a few years back it was going for maybe $10 bucks.

Hey, Ogg! I've wondered about this for decades. What the heck was recorded at 16 rpm? Did you ever own such a disc, or have you ever known anyone who did?

You must have me on ignore I was mentioning that I had 16 and 78 rpm records

 

[mynameisben]

Nope, I just overlooked it.

What kinds of recordings do you have on 16 rpm? I'm dying to know.

 

[oggbashan]

Hey, Ogg! I've wondered about this for decades. What the heck was recorded at 16 rpm? Did you ever own such a disc, or have you ever known anyone who did?

Generally it was speech such as plays, lectures or audio books. I have a couple of Shakespeare's plays at 16 rpm. I did have, but have discarded (sold or given away) a couple of plays by Moliere in French.

Hey! Want me to send the Flying Monkeys after you?

And just how do you intend to lure them out from under Cloudy's bed?

I know I wouldn't leave if i was under there.

The last time I checked, just one remained after the last AH prom. The others stop by for a visit, but they always return home. One of them muttered something about being a-skeerred of Cloudy, but I'm sure he was mistaken. After all, we know how pleasant and sweet-tempered she can be. That "bad witch" sobriquet is completely undeserved.

A from the good little witch.

Blackbelt monkey spanker, huh? Does the garter have a place to put you banana?
