Beautiful Victor! Hard for me to listen to the record though. lol. Can't stand anything to do with hurting animals. There are other early records that are like 'kick the dog' or something. I can't tolerate them. can't help it.

@sideshowtink Yes, You Gotta Quit Kickin my Dawg Around comes to mind, also featured on the Victrolaman Channel. A sad tale, but the Dog gets even in the end.

Greay sound out of that player! I love "portables" and how monstrously heavy some of them were. lol

Recording this must have been so much fun, especially with the fake meowing at 1:30
