From my dad. The thing about 78s is they're so brittle, only one record survived. The rest are in pieces.

How come no one is talking about Biden rambling about how we should stay home at night and listen to the radio, record player, phonograph.....Victrola, High Fi, Graamphone, The Edison?
This stuff is great.

My word as a Biden.
He gets decades wrong, what state he’s in, who’s President, who’s alive and who’s not.
Joe should get his money back from his Brain surgery.
Even Joes lies are old.

I have about 1,000 78's.
From 1914. Although this was not one of his big hits, Billy Murray was one of the most popular singers in the country during the first two decades of the 20th century.
I had to think a moment to remember what ‘phonograph’ meant — had it confused with polygraph — to me it was always record player and phonograph was from the generation before. I’m 64.
Now that just gave my heart a throb!
It was a line in “Up On Cripple Creek”, by The Band.
No, he told us a few years ago about people gathering around the TV to see Roosevelt talk.
The Hawaiian War Chant--Andy Iona & His Islanders (1934)
And he said this event occurred in 1929.
Groper Joe was off by 10 years.
“The National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) was RCA’s broadcasting wing. It began regular U.S. television broadcasting on April 30, 1939, with a telecast of President Franklin D. Roosevelt opening the New York World’s Fair.”
I have worked in radio for almost 40 years as a DJ, and everyone in the radio broadcasting bizz calls it a turntable.

Makes me want to hitch up the buggy or jump in the horseless carriage and vote for him, 23-skiddoo!!
“I have worked in radio for almost 40 years as a DJ, and everyone in the radio broadcasting bizz calls it a turntable.”
Yeah. Two turntables and a microphone.
Regular folk called it a record player.
Short term memory is the first to go with dementia.
“Record player” is rather irrelevant, and it is sad to see so many people get hung up on that. Substitute “Bluetooth”, and taken as a whole, Biden’s “answer” is STILL gobbledygook.
I guess I'll just have to dance dance dance dance dance to the radio.
