Bagels For Sale

Beatles For Sale LP

The only LP in history that could surpass this would be another Beatles, but I have my doubts.

my homemade bagels (not for sale really)

These bagels are surpassed by Montreal bagels fresh from the brick oven, barely.

From Elvis to Mambo

FROM ELVIS TO MAMBO

He would have been 77 today, our birthday. Above – one of the first LP records I owned, and now I consider it a classic. It was acquired new, unlike most of my LP’s that have been purchased for 50c or $1 in the used bins. These days I’m looking for jazz in the main, but sometimes there are oddities that catch my eye, like the LP below.

Ordinarily I disregard the bargain labels like this one. When they print the price on the cover you have to figure that it’s cheap for a reason. On the back of the jackets they have advertising. This one lists such gems as “Organ Hit Parade” and “Polka Hits”. I liked the cover however, so I gave it a whirl. It was a good record. Better than some Elvis. Happy Birthday.
