Songs for Young Lovers

10lp-371.jpg

This incredible, essential Sinatra Capitol 10″ includes “Violets for Your Furs,” “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” “I Get a Kick Out of Your” and other “Songs For Lovers” that set the standard for standards and provided the make-out soundtrack for a generation of bobby-sockers in the fifties. Nelson Riddle conducts! This one’s for Jerry who told me about Tom Waits on stage with a mini light post.

Great books

img_4383.JPG

“Classics Story Teller” on the Golden Records’ Great Literature Series.   A record tie-in to the comic book series “Classics Illustrated”   I was a fan of these comic books and was introduced to many of the great books by reading them.   I also read Casper, Archie, Captain America, Fantatic Four, Aquaman, Batman, Superman, Richie Rich and Horror Movie magazines.   Then I found a Playboy while doing my paper route and soon after sold my comic book collection.
