Hello Ken, my name is Rick Gale.
I live in southern california.
Would you by any chance have any records from the eddy
harkness orchestra , not sure of spelling?
They did a song from 1927, The Haunting Waltz.
Thank you, Rick

Hello Marcia:
I bought the wind up record player from the junk man in 1968 for $12 and
paid him $3 to bring it home for me. I had to have a repair made but after
that the player has serviced me well for almost 50 years. The clostest I
could date it was a ad in a trade magazine put out in 1919.
It is a USONA make and the playing head turns for either the standard
records or the Edison records.I have never seen another player like this
one.
I have found a place where I can get parts if needed.
Would anyone be intrested in the old player sound if I put the mike up in
the horn and made recordings.

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!
Marcia

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
