By the way, along with some of the stupid comments, people were saying the quality of the recording wasn't that good...just a few years earlier, the only music you could hear was played live....when you could hear some music in your own house, it was like a miracle, people gathered around to listen, and that technology was not cheap either...we forget how much more we have than they did at that time....but their cooking was probably better... :wink: Steffan
