[Phono-L] Living Pictures

Bruce, Here's a link to the wiki page on Living Pictures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tableau_vivant It was a fascinating read. See if you can find a copy of *Stars and Stripes Forever* with Clifton Webb and Robert Wagner. If you can't I'll loan you mine. There's a perfect presentation of

[Phono-L] Living Pictures

Folks, I'm with Loran and Andy. I think the song title may refer to exhibitions of actor reproductions of famous works of art. *Music Man* comes to mind as well as *Stars and Stripes Forever* by Twentieth Century-Fox. There is a enjoyable scene in a Burlesque Theatre. I found a bit on-line

[Phono-L] Phono-L No More E-Bay Pranks

Gents, Bob, you're right E-bay doesn't care about you...or me or Tom, Dick or Harry, but they do care about all of us together. That's the only way to make a difference-a large (and noisy enough block of buyers and sellers need to make their feelings known. Yes they have gotten to big and

[Phono-L] Portables

Bob, I agree, Birches and similar are a step down from the top of the line machines. I will add on to my collection someday, if I find one cheap enough. I am surprised they sell so well on E-Bay though. Art, I've seen those Columbia 140s with the lid horn an louvers. Really neat. How does it

[Phono-L] Deutsche Grammophon HMV101 Variant

Folks, I recently acquired a Deutsche Grammophon portable very similar to an HMV 101. The motor-board is painted wood with a plate which reads: Grammophon - Niederlage JOHANN ARLETT Geriohtlich Beeid Sachvarst?ndiger F?r Die Erzeugung Von Sprachmaschinen U. Platten WEIN, VII Kirchengasse 15 It
