Karen and I dropped in at a big antiques mall near Milroy, Pa., the other day. Two stories of great old stuff. I bought three LPs for less than $5, including the Eagles Greatest Hits. Back in the 1990s, this was the best selling LP of all time. I am playing it as I write this. It is good music.
I also bought two Christmas albums. One by Kate Smith ("Christmas Eve in My Home Town" is an old favorite) and Eddie Arnold (my Mom loved his music and he has a really solid style). We have an incredible library of old Christmas albums that we bought at yard sales and antique stores, plus a few that we've carried with us through the years. These will be good additions. Christmas is a time for memories. I remember, for instance, that my mother gave me my very first LP for Christmas: Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a'Changing."
