Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

So...just exactly what is the appropriate response when your mother-in-law looks at you and says "My balls have holes in them." ????She's obviously a bowler!

I own a Pathe cabinet phonograph which I inherited in my yout'. It works quite well with the RCA-style steel needles on the RCA-style records, but to play the Pathe records properly requires the sapphire ball stylus. Also, the reproducer head must be rotated to a different angle for the Pathe records, and the sapphire stylus must
not be used on an RCA-style record.
Edison-style records are another whoe bucket o' beans.

In any case, congratulations on your find - enjoy those records! You inherited some Pathe records, too, I'm assuming?

Whoa, I didn't understand a word of that. Ancient tech, though, cool.

Yes, and some of them are pretty neat...the "demo" record that shipped with the phonograph, for one. Not knowing any better, I played a couple of them with the steel needles that I found in it, but the sound was unsatisfactory (because of the incorrect needle profile, as I later learned) and put them aside in favor of RCA-style records. I trust I did no serious damage to the pathe records, or if I did, that it was redundant, the same having been done by my late lamented ancestor, the former owner.

Thanks for the advice. They took the news well, thanked me, and said as long as I keep them informed, it's OK. They'd prefer to do it themselves, but if it's a choice between me and his peers, they'll pick me.

When we have the Moot on my ancestral estate (around 2018, I imagine) I'll do a big show'n'tell'n'play some neat old records.
Meanwhile, I still have to set up some sort of recording system and digitize this stuff :)
Maybe this month while Mom's in Finland (again) :o

I just put a high maximum bid on it. If I get outbid, meh...I'll survive. So far it's not even close.

I used to get fahklempt reading the Redwall novels to the Clare and Joseph. One of the 'good' characters died at the end of each book, and I always cried. It got to where Joseph could tell when I was gonna cry, and he'd get amused. Little twerp. ;o)
Have you ever looked into those books? They are very interesting, especially for boys. Lots of swashbuckling and clear good and evil.

I remember the TV adaptation of Green Gables, and when Matthew died, I cried, too.

My swashbuckle broke.
Lost the swash.
Kept the buckle.
