Just woke to the tragic news that 78 year old José 'Cheo' Felciano died in a single car accident near San Juan, Puerto Rico last night.

HeyPally: Welcome to my strand of the web. I am an amateur collector of 78 rpm records. I won't say that I'm obsessed with this hobby...
but my wife will.

It all started after watching the Glenn Miller movie "Orchestra Wives" with my Grandmother.

Spending a few hours combing through piles of shellac looking for Big Band 78's was my idea of fun.

Looking back on those early days, I wonder how many gems I overlooked while feverishly searching for swing discs.

Not much can compare with the rush of finding something rare and collectible in a stack of dusty, musty grooves etched with dormant sounds of eras gone by just begging for a spinning platter and a probing stylus to bring it back to life...

...if just for 3 minutes more.
