Ron, I was around your age when I seen my first phono in my Grandpa's basement (which I also now own, also) . I purchased from my uncle. Hoping to pass to one of my grandchildren. Phonograph isn't a rare one, more a sentimental one, like the song "Gonna Take a Sentimental Journey". Maybe a lot of us phonograph collectors go on this journey . I sure enjoyed it since 1985. Thank you,,,, Loran for phono-l . Happy collecting, Joan In a message dated 7/30/2012 4:37:32 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Non phono things have to part of your story. I saw my first phono ( which I now own) when I was in first grade. Talking about school has nothing to do with phonos but everything to do with the story.

Unfortunately it will contain parts of my life away form the topic of Phonos as I overcame major life issues. I guess now it would be inappropriate to post my story here. If any of you that encouraged me to do this, and if you still would like to read my story, please contact me off board. As I donot want to cause problems or get people here upset with me. I to am sorry for posting my off topic personal major life event. I really did not mean to ruffle anyones feathers, Kenneth ________________________________ From: Loran T.

Yes, one purpose of the list is to share & further knowledge about the hobby. Phono-L is also a conduit for socialization among those of us who share common bonds. Folks, if you get your panties in a wad over some non-phono related chatter, run your own listserve and make the rules. Hang out here, you play by my rules.

That is true. > > I simply responded to a public message that was posted by a list member. I had written him privately asking him to let me know how he was doing. He answered publicly. Was it off subject? Yes. I did not use the list as a "soap box"' I merely made a compassionate response to a list member's message. I assume he received a similar response. I also assume that if the medical issue had been cancer or some other "mainstream" ailment, I would not have been accused of being on my "soapbox", which implies a political attitude. > > Be that as it may, I am sorry if my public response to a public message offended anyone.
