I Hear Music

I love the 78 RPM records. I have a small collection of collection of them, but i play them only rarely. One of my brothers has an old-time player and a better collection than I do. Thus, we can go over there and have dance parties during a power blackout. He uses the hand-cranked players!

I recently read this book, DO NOT SELL AT ANY PRICE:

Reading brought me to some good stories of the 78 RPM record collectors. Many of these people were already on my radar, per my collection of very old records, which were digitized and shared on CD, LP and on internet audio.

There are many genres that are popular on the 78 RPM records: blues, early jazz, country, western and hillbilly songs, world music (from everywhere), dance music, pop music, strange instrumentals, novelty records, spoken words and comedy records and much more!
