I am watching The Big Night starring John Barrymore, Jr. on Screenpix....and interesting film directed by Joseph Losey with an interesting gay subtext.....

And of course Screenpix is the only service that would show The Big Knife followed by The Big Night.......

Our first family stereo was a hi-fi that folded down out of a cabinet. Kinda portable but really too big. Then we got that octagonal end-table thing. U.S. kids were given a cheapie kids turntable to play 45s. That thing probably ruined a lot of records. Finally when I was 13 I was given my own stereo. A Fischer with radio, turntable and tape deck.

I then took all the family records of which many were my dad’s classical. He turned us all on to Pachelbel’s Cano

One album I liked and still have is Cathedral Voluntaries & Processionals by organist E. Power Biggs.

You’d have a hard time explaining to a young person of today just how insanely popular organ albums were.

I don't remember if it was one of my dad's siblings or a family friend, but I remember going to someone's house when I was a kid and they had an organ in their family room. That was long before I ever took music lessons, so it was just playing on the keys quite randomly.

I still have my "Denny McLain at the Organ" album from 1968, subtitled "The Detroit Tigers' Superstar Swings With Today's Hits."

So, once again George deserts us. Here at 12:15 for ONE post. He WILL be held accountable.

Oh well.

If he cannot be bothered to make more than a single post then I'll just change the topic.
