Modern Jazz Quartet~
And the All Star Jazz Band

Aretha Franklin~

All for fifty cents each!!! There's kind of a cool story behind it too. After I picked out all the records I went up to the guy having the sale and told him he had great taste in music. He said "Oh those aren't mine those were my Moms" To which I replied "Well then your Mom had great taste in music.". To which he then replied "You can tell her yourself... She's standing right behind you". I turned around to see this little old Mexican lady smiling at me. I told her how much I liked her musical tastes and she told me that she didn't even know people listened to records anymore and that she has everything on CD now. We talked about music for awhile and I found out that she was definitely a hip old lady. I told her that I collect old audio stuff and she told me to come back in a couple of weeks because she has an "old machine that cuts records" in her garage. She said it's from the 50's and it had a lot of tubes in it:D. I guess it belonged to her husband but she said I could have it if I wanted it. I think I'm going to be going back for sure:D.
