And my grandparents had 78s with the likes of Eddie Cantor on them. I don't even have the capability to play anything other than 33s and 45s, but I have a few CDs of 1920s 'hot jazz' music -- some of which were mastered from 78s and have the clicks and pops -- and enjoy them. One of my favorite recordings of all time is a 1931 Louis Armstrong rendition of St Louis Blues. Wonderful stuff.
Somehow, though, I always come back to 1965 music -- the music when I graduated from high school.
