(I just took her to see Greg Brown this Spring.) Ok, I'm really sharing now...the first new 45 that I selected while downtown with my Mom was "Build Me Up Buttercup" by - I'll leave it to those who know to fill in the group. I don't have any 45s left and I can't remember what the b side was. By the way, there are a lot of sounds that our kids have never heard: Analog playback with vacuum tube amplification, typewriters, dial phones with real bells, old fax machines, computer card punch machine, Mopar 426 Hemi vs. 409 Chevys at the traffic light, the early truck and clanking of glass bottles of the milkman ...

I see that you haven't been in my basement recently. But I have noticed that, lately, there seems to be less current to make it fully ring -- the volume goes up and down as it rings.
