The none-too-shabby B-Side to his 1961 #1 Hit single Running Scared, here’s the legendary Roy Orbison with his killer version of the classic Boudleaux Bryant track Love Hurts.

Random Early Popular Records.

Going back a whopping 98 years, here’s the ever-lovely Annette Hanshaw - Under The Moon (10” 78 rpm, 1927).

Super fun vintage clip of folks dancing & just being happy…because we can all use a little extra happy in our lives these days!

Thinking of the old turn-of-the-20th Century BlueSky technology, where silent films & 78 rpm records were ground into a fine nitrate/shellac EdisonDust™️ and billowed into the aether-net, then slowly reconstituted onto wood-framed, hand-cranked, albumin-coated ‘eyePads’ 1/4 frames per minute.
