The Mercury Storyteller series were the records I wore out. A little older, it was To The Moon 6-LP series from Time-Life and "Gallant Men" by Sen. Everett Dirkson on Capitol. Plus, when I was a youngster, WRVR NY played old radio shows every evening. I just as soon never hear another Shadow or Lone Ranger episode, but they were fun back then. Even when I was a small tike, I did not like sing-song kiddie records one bit. Do any of you remember the Show N Tell slide-strip/record players? That was a great device. Also the later Viewmaster with the little grooved record attached to the wheel, although most of the content was lame. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard L.
