Re: How many records have you broken in your lifetime?
I shudder to think. At the age of five, I was given my aunt's old tabletop RCA Victor tube-driven radio/record player. My father had a large collection of 78s which he no longer had time to care about (house, mortgage, business, wife, two kids, etc). I was allowed to (ab)use these records. While I could not read, I could somehow identify my favourites, Oscar Peterson, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Lionel Hampton, Nellie Lutcher, etc, all things with rhythmic impetus. My favourites suffered badly.
