GALLERY: Golden Era dance pics, advice, movie star profiles
Found this promotional "magazine" put out by the Arthur Murray dance studio this past weekend, for a buck. Had to a few pages - it's just Too Cool. Looks circa 1940.

How many 78s do you have? (w/ image gallery)
Fletch, I can't describe how close to home that hits (except replace the "small town midwesterner" part with "low-income urban" upbringing). There definitely ARE normal collectors... but like you said, the big-time guys really do seem to be more into that than anything else. Since I quit (a bit...- Cousin Hepcat

Don't try this
Don't try this... 7) For the premiere of Pinocchio Walt hired 11 midgets, dressed them up like the little puppet and put them on top of Radio City Music Hall in New York with a full day's supply of food and wine. The idea was they would wave hello to the little children entering into the...- Cousin Hepcat

Where is the Spring????
We've flip-flopped between winter, spring, and summer about 30 or 40 times already this year here in NC, and the birds & blooming plants are confused as hell :p Already had a string of days near 90 degrees about a week ago... but now it's back to sub-freezing again... Was really nice...- Cousin Hepcat

Favourite Horror Flick?
Definitely, the original Dracula (1931) w/ Bela Lugosi. So chock full of cool random details... like at the beginning, it shows Dracula and his wives coming out of their coffins, then a bumble bee coming out of its own tiny coffin... (from a line in the book, I found after doing some...- Cousin Hepcat

Limited 10-inch Prestige LPs, NOS, Stan Getz Wardell Gray etc.
I put this here rather than Classifieds since it's not something I'm selling; it's an alert to loungers of a recent warehouse find of NOS rare jazz record reissues. Put it here incase most folks like me never read Classifieds section; bartenders feel free to move it if you deem inappropriate...- Cousin Hepcat

How many 78s do you have? (w/ image gallery)
What do I play them on? ... really a whole other thread, but, everything from this previously-unused acoustic portable to the most-used player, mainly when friends are over, my 1952 Rock-Ola juke box (The last juke Rock-Ola made that would play 78s before going 45-only) . I'm...- Cousin Hepcat

Terribly sad, very serious injuries, she's lucky to be talking... just goes to prove once again, what every serious lindy hopper should know: If you're gonna do aerials with someone, it'd better be someone you know Really Well, and Really Trust...

New GRE test plans cancelled
Nothing vintage, just a Public Service Announcement for other folks who like myself might have their head in the sand except for going between dayjob, night studies, & the lounge...

How does one locate a phonograph repair person?
Webcors had small screws with retainer plates on the underside of the arm to hold the wiring in place. If they're missing, a temporary fix is to do like the cheaper brands & just stuff little pieces of foam or rubber padding up in the hollow of the arm. Make sure if there's a spring, you don't...- Cousin Hepcat

What are your unreleased dvd wants?
It has been, a while back, but I've been checking the schedule recently & didn't see it, so finally bought a used copy for $7 on VHS from Amazon. Incidentally, I just got it & watched it last night - as I'd remembered from the first time, GREAT! Superb. She's one of my faves anyway, and...- Cousin Hepcat
