Hello Linda G.
I had a wind up record player as a child where the springs broke and someone
had put an electric turntable in it. My earliest memories are of stars like
Roy Acuff, Gene Autry, Al Dexter and the Bails brothers. Later when that
player gave out someone gave me another player and later I bought one. They
are all gone now having been wore out so I’m going easy with the one I still
have.
I have been looking for records since I was 10 years old and have about 790
records now. Back in the 80’s I bought a large bunch of blemished records
from a juke box company for .20 cents each. I kept the best ones and now I
buy auction pick throughs for $1 each. These records is what nobody bid on
and the auction house has to sell them somehow. A lot of them are like new
and I get to hear good artists I never heard before.
I have a electric turntable hooked to the computer but it only has 45 and 33
RPM speeds so I have to step up the speed with gold wave. I found the
setting to be 75500.
I like to restore old talking books on the 16 RPM records if I can get two
copies of the same book at the same time. I have about125 or more talking
books on the mp3 format I can share.
My sister overdosed me with rock and roll until I am burned out so I hate
the stuff and I’m all classic country. I do have the Whitburn rock and roll
from 1953 to 1967 if anyone wants it.
That’s enough for now, see you later.
Kenneth Atkins

Hi Kenneth,
Wow, would I love to hear a lot of those 78's! Hope you are able to share with
us more about your farming life. Have you always been blind, or have you lost
some sight recently? My name is Linda Gehres, usually known around here as
Linda G., and I'm from Alameda, California, across the bay from San Francisco.
I do love the old 78's but also grew up with Rock 'n Roll.
Linda G.

Hi Kenneth, welcome to the list.
You must live an interesting life, pretty much living off the land. So you
listen to your music with a crank up record player? Interesting,
very cool!

Hi, Keneth,
I'm Rosemarie and I live in Southern California. Welcome to this great list.
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as the rest of us do.
What this list is about is sharing music on a service called open drive.
There's a variety of things up there already. There are also audio books,
movies and old TV shows. Not only do we share music but we also give each
other support when it's wanted or needed. Some people here post
blindness-related articles which are quite interesting.
Wow, that's something about all the 78's you have. What state do you live
in?
Rosemarie

Hello list members:
I'm Kenneth Atkins and I'm new here, what is this list all about can someone
please enlighten me.
I'm 70 years old and live on a small farm out in the country where I can
keep a milk cow and a llama. I love the old time country music and have 791
78 RPM records at the last count. I keep a USONA wind up player for playing
them.
I enjoy homestead crafts like making my own beer and hard cheese along with
making my own record sleeves and weaving rugs on my loom.
I also do home canning when I can find the extra food on sale.
Anybody like farming stuff.
Kenneth Atkins
