Well, having a great time here. I've bought about 60 records I think, most are the $2 variety, however a handful were much more (some Fletcher Henderson, Louis and His Hot Five, Ellington, Thomas Morris, and Henry (Red) Allen, Jr). Lots of great live music (more tonight, the big bash, with the Fat Babies et al), record spinning with the mouldy figs last night for hours, Joe Lauro playing many fascinating early jazz/dance band on film...

Let's see if you all can see this clip I recorded (make sure to choose HD playback; sorry, I can never seem to be able to embed a video here!). Song is "June Night":

I was hoping for a few snap shots to see what goes on and you provided talkies.
It must have been fun.

Thanks,
James
