How does one locate a phonograph repair person?
Hi Kimberly, Smart choice for a player. Webcors / Webster Chicago's - They were one of the biggest and best makers of the 40s-60s. Built like tanks. Seen pics of their earlier 78 changers installed in a number of sea vessels; they seemed a favorite of the armed forces. Ran a...- Cousin Hepcat

Strange questions about your town
Same here... I've had so many northerners insist, when they ask where I'm from and I tell them I'm a native North Carolinian, "No, you didn't grow up in North Carolina! You don't have an accent! Connecticut?" All I can say is, "sorry, you're mistaken..." [huh]- Cousin Hepcat

An Unofficial FL Radio Program
Amen to that, 'Guy, as I said before in my first week or so at the lounge I think it was. And what better spot for a remote broadcast. And in honor of the bartenders, I'd like to refrain from playing Little Richard's "Dizzy Miss Lizzie". :p You know friends, something we all have, but we...- Cousin Hepcat

Woolworth's
Don't think there were any Woolworth's' left when I was a kid, but hearing the descriptions sounds just like the King's department store, one of my few pre-preschool memories. Yes, with a lunch "grill", where Mom would get me a pan-fried-in-butter grilled cheese sandwich & a Reese's peanut...- Cousin Hepcat

"Bringing Up Baby"
In reading that review, it strikes me the modern moviegoer who hasn't seen lots of old movies has an advantage watching it now; I *hadn't* seen all those gags before; they were all new to me when I saw this. That's what made it so different (first b&w movie I think I actually sat down & watched...- Cousin Hepcat
