----- nice article, Jerry and good pictures. However, I was surprised to see
the following:
"..........she raised the arm of her record player and gently lowered it onto
a 78 rpm vinyl recording. The McCosh Hall classroom filled with the slightly
staticky sounds of a 1923 acoustic recording of "Yes! We Have No Bananas"
performed by Billy Murray."
----- now, has prof. Thompson really had access to a vinyl pressing of this
record? Or is it just one more example of the sloppy notion that everything
black must be vinyl - that's what our parents had.
By the way, one of my versions is German: "AUSgeRECHnet BanAnen", and it is
shellac-based.
Kind regards,
George
