Just for the record:

[Gahr]

A person born in 33 was 45 in 78.

 

[smitty_p]

This is true.

That person would have lots of styl(us)!

 

[Gahr]

I'm a bit annoyed my current record player can't play 78s. I have an small stack of old 78s my dad gave me. They used to belong to my grandparents. They played them back in the 30s and 40s, before they got their first "hi-fi" system.

 

[Hackmaster]

We had stacks of old 78 jazz records.
Some were close to 1/4" thick.
Dad got tired of moving the heavy crates full of records, he likes to buy a new house every 5 or so years.
So he left them in my cousins basement in the late 70's.
Basement flooded a couple times, records mildewed and were just abandoned.
So sad...

But on the bright side, I turned him on to YouTube and now he can "watch" his favorite tunes anytime he wants.

But in keeping with Ghar's original comment. I'm 59, and I was born in 59
I find that amusing.

It's a sign! The Lord wants you to buy a '59 Burst!

33, that was a long time ago! What about someone born in 1933?

Speaking of records. While looking for the music book that had Take It To The Limit in it earlier today, I found this. It's a flimsy 45 sized 33 that came with a Learn How to Play Lead Guitar book from the 70s.
