Recorded from an old 78 rpm Capitol record.
Here's the story that goes with this record.
A few days ago I received a message from my big brother Jack saying that he was sending a bodacious package to me. He didn't say what it was and I didn't ask. Instead, I waited patiently til today.
A big box was delivered to my door. The postage was outrageous for it so it really made me wonder and I couldn't imagine what the heck my bro had sent to me.
When I opened the box, there they were, in beautiful condition, at least as far as 78 rpm records go! It was an amazing surprise and I immediately warmed up the old 78 player!
I, of course, am delighted and haven't stopped smiling all day!
So now I am posting one of the best finds in this box!!!
I will tell you that to find a 78 rpm of Coleman Hawkins in good condition is fairly rare and yet here it is.....
I've got just one thing to say.... Thank you to my brother Jack
