Well, shooting a couple of 78's I've heard might improve the environment....

I've always been a firm believer that the world would be better off with fewer red-label Columbias in it! :D

I was thinking in terms of Evan Williams; plus shooting a bunch of them would make the remainder rare and valuable, something their musical content doesn't do.

If you can't find it, you can come over to my place and use one of my vintage Winchester 67s. I've got three of 'em! :lol:

We can listen to "Istanbul" on the HMV 102 while shooting copies of "Standing on the Corner!"

I'm just wondering what would you launch a 78 with? Are launchers made for them or does someone at the other end of a field just throw them as high as they can?
