Egad! 
I just saw myself in twenty years!

Many of my phonographs are in my living room near the 50" TV so people have to be around me!!!

I would call him "lonely". I'd call it a good way to spend a rainy Sunday in Oregon. Jerry

I wouldn't call him "old" either. He has more hair than George and I combined. Anonymous Guest

We'll have to get together for a ride George Paul. I have always said summer is for cycling and winter is for phonographs and woodworking. (OK, raining summer days are for phonographs and woodworking too
)Why do we need signatures when we are on a first avatar basis?

I don't know, he could probably have an entire additional shelf if they were more practically spaced.FloridaClay wrote:Oh, and I want those record shelves!
