Can you believe my wife and I threw out all our LPs and 45s one morning? We put them in boxes and left them out on the roadside for a weekly rubbish collection in 1990!

@didgeridoouke Yes I can, and a lot of others did the same. I was disappointed in the sound of CDs whenever I would attempt to replace an LP with a CD, and I did the opposite. I kept all of my albums,and bought very few CDs compared to all the LPs I have, even though I have two quality CD players. I still have all the 45's I have ever owned since I was 12, and I think there are now over 1.000 . The four jukeboxes I have hold 250 45's .

Thank you very much for putting up Doris Day's version of it had to be you. Until your video I have searched & searched for a simple rendition that clearly articulates the shift in notes in the line "For nobody else gave me a thrill."

Sure is a beautiful record player. Like almost everything built in the 50's, it was built to last and it has what almost everything these days lack....style!

[Interlingua]

Interesting that you mention this since it was in teh 1950s that the phrase "planned obsolescence" first became popular. Popular researchers like Vance Packard wrote that the decade was characterized by building things that weren't meant to last. And I'm also not sure that almost everything today lacks style: iPhones, coffee machines, store windows, shampoo bottles...all of these nowadays seem to have a lot of style to me.

Today's styles are by no means as lovely and precious as the styles of the golden days. iPhones, coffee machines, store windows, shampoo bottles aren't all that splendid, they truly lack that golden sparkle. To tell you the truth they all look sterile and rigid...like hospital sterile. Anyhow this is a beautiful song! BTW, ipod and mp3 quality pales in comparison to a record player. Thanks!

My Buddy is one of those rare, unappreciated songs that is so great, but no one seems to know about. This version, particularly with the orchestration, is terrific!

[thecandykissme]

I adore this song!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so very much. I've been looking for someone, anyone! singing My Buddy. You made my day. Thank you so very much. I miss my old friend and It really helped me a lot.

I enjoyed sitting here at my desk and listening to these great songs. The ol record player sounds terrific! This weekend I watched "I'll See You In My Dreams" with Doris Day and Danny Williams for the first time. What depth and feeling she brings to each note and phrase!

[strawberryfie1ds]

This was very relaxing to sit and listen to Doris Day (one of my favorite voices) while watching the record player. I even enjoyed the little sounds of the arm moving, etc. Thank you so much for all your posting!

Beside hearing Doris Day singing, I can hear this player screaming "QUALITY"! Yep, those old machines are well-built. After what this one has been through, it's singing beautifully once again. I need to get my 1956 7HF45 running someday.
