As a kid, I picked up an original Columbia 78 of that Goodman recording “Why Don’t You Do Right?” at a garage sale. And I played it on my great-grandmother’s Victrola (which my family acquired after her death in 1969) until the grooves were practically gone.

That Victrola was really designed for late-1910s/early-1920s acoustic records, not 1940s ones. The heavy arm used to really eat into them. But I was a kid. I didn’t know any better. I didn’t even know to change needles after each playing.
