I am sitting here listening to Sha Na Naa "Get a Job" as I post these . Just a couple I had on hand upstairs to share . My cabinet is old 1950's record cabinet meant for LPs it lifts up and closes with LP's in upright position how they should be stored never flat .It is all Elvis in there . Musik has me inclined to get downstairs at my 45's .
Sha Na Na is an American rock and roll group. The name is taken from a part of the long series of nonsense syllables in the doo-wop hit song "Get a Job", originally recorded in 1957 by the Silhouettes
Billing themselves as "from the streets of New York" and outfitted in gold lamé, leather jackets, and pompadour hairdos, Sha Na Na performs a song and dance repertoire of classic fifties rock and roll, while simultaneously reviving and sending up the music and 1950s New York street culture.

Mikie I was there :-) did you see me on your steam TV <grin> heck I didn't have a TV till I was 34 . Did not believe they were needed and my kids never complained . They climbed tree's and I worked 2 jobs .
Was it hard shoveling all that coal to keep TV on long enough to watch whole show or did it cut off and you missed me :-(
