Of course I remember L.S. Ayres, and Wasson's, and Block's - all the big downtown stores. We would go there now and then....DR GINNY the Tea Room has been replicated at the Indiana Museum right down to the silverware and waitresses' uniforms...you can still have lunch or tea.....http://visitindy.com/indianapolis-l-s-ayres-tea-room-at-indiana-state-museum
I'm here after a long weekend. Show is fine, sounds fine, people can hear fine. It's was just fine.I, personally, am not fine. Think I'm fighting a cold and have a headache this morning. Which I'm sure is from the Makers Mark over ice I had before bed. It was a good thought at the time...
I must be dreaming. We simply can't be on page two.
DR JOHN G I finally watched UNITED 93 earlier this year - it was hard to watch, but I am glad I did.
TOD:My first record player was one of this children's portables. It was white and it folded in half into a carrying case. LPs were larger than the case, so they hung over the edge when you played them. There was no long spindle in the middle, so you couldn't play a stack of 45s. Still, it had enough volume and a decent enough sound that you could enjoy it.My first transistor was a cheapie giveaway at some department store opening. It had one of those one-ear earphones, and I played it forever. The big station in Louisville on the AM dial back then was WAKY and it drove my parents wacky when my sisters and I played it.I did make a transistor radio for Cub Scouts. It was little more than soldering a few parts together and following the instructions. I didn't understand what any of it meant, and the kit was not helpful in that regard. But the radio worked. And that was way cool back then.

I also loved the clip from the Gary Moore show of her singing with Dorothy Collins and Eileen Ferrell.
