    Retro or Classic?

    I either read someone's blog or was talking to one of several collector friends who was talking about some guy he knew who was obsessed with making Catalin radios again. He got the whole formula for the Secret Sauce, and went to work in his basement. Many headaches and a few Explosions :eek...

    '30's phrases

    GREAT thanks for posting Raiderrescuer & all, this is something I've been meaning to ask here but never remembered when online :D :D (Cab's are great but I never heard them in common use in the movies & most of them rarely even in the songs of the 30s-40s)

    Retro or Classic?

    Or, if you're in the one spot where you can't find an original 50s suitcase changer portable... They've already got the cheaply made half-sized repro CD jukeboxes (not the high-quality fullsize commercial repros), and the repro changer turntables... I'm just waiting (with disdain, my friend)...

    This evil evil vintage addiction (men are welcome in this one, too)

    Ever done any selling to cycle out parts of the collection on the 'Bay? It can do a Lot to help the finances (and to temper the urges to go on the hunt). Selling the "not-the-best-items-in-your-collection" can even get to be addictive in itself :eusa_clap (it's nice to see the overall...

    Which book/movie affected you the most?

    Movie "It's A Wonderful Life" - makes me aspire to live at least somewhat of a more 30s-40s vintage lifestyle when done w/ school & time/money permits. (And, do all the TLC shows like "Trauma: Life in the ER" count?) Swing High, - Cousin Hepcat

    Retro or Classic?

    When I hear "retro", I've come to expect some previously unseen combination of old style with modern, where as when I hear "classic", I expect to see something more accurately vintage. I think the PT Cruiser / 47 Pontiac comparison is good. Also: Retro: (1970's "updated version" of the...

    Three generations of diplomas on my wall.

    Thanks Rosie & Lena for sharing your fmaily info too - See that's so cool to have a family history you can be proud of. My grandfather served in WWI and I have his helmet, led a jazz band in the 1920s (will post an ultra cool pic sometime), then was the vice president of the Bank of...

    Three generations of diplomas on my wall.

    :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Great choice of how to use wallspace. I don't even know if my parents' & grandparents' original diplomas still exist. Makes me think about how much we take these opportunities for granted. - Cousin Hepcat

    my new CD acquisition, I think Wild Root would be proud

    If you find you really like his style, you should check out this movie, has Bing Crosby & the rhythm boys (though I have to say Whiteman takes a bit too much credit as "the kind of jazz" for my tates :p ) From IMDB: Plot Summary for The King of Jazz (1930): This revue presents its numbers...

    Miss Manners 7/13/06

    Good idea. But we need to figure how to make a Guy's version of the line... maybe by finishing it with a drawn out, emphatic "SUCKAAAH".... That reminds me of when I got out of school & started work at Nortel. Man I got the MOST dogging for my clothes & tie (in a friendly-like way), and...
