Bob Davis1 13th Jun 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumBangles - All Over The Place | I bought the album mostly because of the "Live" track. And the cover photo with Ms. Steele listening to a 45 playing on a repurposed vacuum cleaner caught my attention.

Bob Davis1 19th Oct 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - I Dig Rock And Roll | I bought a copy of this back around 1958, and considered the title rather misleading because the tracks are more in the Rhythm & Blues genre. I probably bought it to get a recording of "My Saddest Hour" by the Five Keys.

Bob Davis1 2nd Oct 2019 | | Vinyl AlbumFanny Brice - Fanny Brice Sings The Songs She Made Famous | Crank up the gramophone, time to transport back to the 1920s. The first song from this collection that I remember is "Second Hand Rose", which I heard back in the 1950s one night when a Sacramento radio station showed up on my radio in the Pasadena area. It was a show sponsored by the original Shakey's Pizza Parlor, and they had a section called "Shakey's Old Curiosity Shop" where they played old 78 RPM records from long ago. Moving into this century, in 2010 I started a column in the e-zine "DaBelly.com" which I dubbed "Bobby Boy's Old Curiosity Shop", where music, travel, technology and anything else I wanted to discuss was fair game.
