    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just finished 'The Merry Gentleman', starring and directed by Michael Keaton. Man that was good. He is really talented - as an actor and now as a director. I highly recommend it - check out the reviews on IMDB.com. -dixon cannon

    Digitizing alternatives

    Bassman.... "No attached cassette machine but you can hook up your current cassette machine to the computer (line-in input on back of PC) and use the same software to digitize, separate songs, title them and import them to the PC the same way as the LP's. Hope that was helpful." Are you...

    Digitizing alternatives

    Yes, I have the ION USB Turntable and just love it. When the mood strikes me and I remember a particular tune from past, I just throw it on the turntable and download it via Audacity and add it to my playlist. I can then download again onto CD if I like. It's a bloody miracle. My next...

    Crusher caps

    Hopalong, I did some research and found these. I paid this for my Bostonians; I think that's a good price for russett repro shoes! http://onlinemilitaria.net/shopexd.asp?id=1917&bc=no -dixon cannon

    Well then, try this on for size. The bill looks right, but the peak might be a bit high. Remember you can always reach inside and crush the peak stiffener as well to give in a well worn look. US Army Officer Service Cap #100132000 Also called Crusher, as they are popularly known today. My...

    The Oldest

    Here is my humble submission: I really don't know the age of the hat; I received it about 1959 as a child (and immediately crushed it!). It was given to me by an old man in Binghamton, NY who was a refugee from Nazi Germany. His name was Mr. Kriegsman on Leroy Street. The printing into the...

    Turn Of The Century Photos Of Philadelphia's Shibe Park

    By the way, there was a Connie Mack field in West Palm Beach, FL where might Dad moved us when he retired. I remember him telling my Connie Mack real name of Cornelius McGillicuddy - I could hardly pronounce it! -dixon cannon

    Turn Of The Century Photos Of Philadelphia's Shibe Park

    My old Dad might well have visiting Shibe Park in it's heyday. He was born in Ardmore (Main Line) in 1901. Heck, my Grandfather's bricks might have built the place for all I know! Thanks for the trip back in time! -dixon cannon

    Crusher caps

    You are always better to have slightly larger than even a little bit smaller. Padding the liner/sweatband with some material will often tighten up a hat that is slightly too big (like after having your ears lowered to USAAF regs!) -dixon cannon

    -FIRST POST-INTRO-QUESTION

    Hey you know what? Those kicks are from a Western Outfitters here in Arizona and they are known as lace-up 'Ropers'! I took the silly frilly thing off of them and they pass as flying boots everywhere I go! Now you know my secret. Although some manufacturers do offer genuine russet oxfords...

    -FIRST POST-INTRO-QUESTION

    USAAFap As others on the lounge will attest, the term 'Crusher' is pretty specific to the type of cap manufactured to be "crushed" and folded for inserting into ones pocket during flight for instance. These hats were made that way and are crushable. However, standard Army issue caps could...
