New Videos of Randy's Phonographs

Several nice selections were recroded on friday morning. The Caruso and Sousa records are from my collection and are new acquisitions. The Sousa is a fabulous recording,nearly mint in sleeve and I bought it only one week ago for $2! The Caruso was 25 cents at a library book sale. It is a one sided record, the Sousa is two sided and has "March Militaire" on the other side.

Arabie Environmental (sort of) Solutions

So Tuesday I'm driving to work on Hodges St. and get to the red light on Clarence St and notice that two old trees next to a parking area had been cut down. It is definitely less shady on that street now. This morning I noticed what building that parking lot was for...Arabie Environmental Solutions. How tacky. That's what keeps Louisiana moving backward instead of forward. Stupidity. EVEN if the trees HAD to come down...I think to remove them and not replace the greenspace is REALLY STUPID FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL "SOLUTIONS" COMPANY!
