Great 'New Collector' Story - Must Read!

Post by Mr Grumpy »

Below is a link to a story that we featured in The Canadian Antique Phonograph Society's Winter APN.

I thought it was too good a story not to share with the group here, it really is a great 'New Collector' story.

I was able to meet the author at our last meeting, his enthusiasm was contagious and talking to him
reaffirmed why I love this hobby (and the people involved).

I agree-what a great story. While I have some really interesting family history I have no phono family stories...though my kids say that they do!

I read every word and enjoyed it very much. I am always envious of someone that has a family phono item. It is such a special gift and heritage. I am very thankful for my dad's old Mustang. I think him every time I enjoy a ride. Jerry Blais

Thanks for sharing this amazing story. It must be great to have phono related heirlooms. I'm envious.
