    Lose the feather for sure, the only thing that belongs in a hat ribbon (occasionally) is a card that says "Press".

    What is your alsolute favorite song?

    Choosing a single song is near impossible. Looking over everyone else’s choices (and some great ones too), I find that there are two ways of looking at this question. First would be a favorite song that remains great no matter who played it as well as in almost any musical style (swing or bebop...

    Where to buy socks?

    Time to give this one a bump. I was out shopping for socks lately and just couldn’t find anything that suited me. Over the years, I’ve tolerated what the department stores offered while never really finding any truly outstanding socks. This time I didn’t even find tolerable ones (perhaps...

    Pocketwatches

    I have a few pocket watches. I usually carry a 1920 size 14 Elgin that belonged to my grandfather. It runs great & needs just the occasional cleaning/tune-up. A good old-fashioned watchmaker isn't real easy to find these days, but with a little looking you can find one. Here are some things...

    Umbrella Repair

    I’m trying to find someone who repairs umbrellas. I have an umbrella that originally belonged to my grandfather. It’s a European umbrella likely from the 1910’s or 20's according to an umbrella repair person who once worked on it. I have had it repaired and recovered over the years and have...

    77 Sunset Strip being remade

    I concur with Lusti Weather, the best thing that can come out of this is the DVD release of the original shows. I'll bet that the dialog in the film won't come close to that of the original. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqvFmAm9C5w

    Modern Film - Vintage Fashion

    It was recently pointed out to me that actor Lou Jacobi had passed away last fall (10/23/09). He was a very funny man. This prompted me to borrow the DVD of Barry Levinson’s “Avalon” from my library. Lou’s “You cut the turkey without me?” scene is great! The film takes place (mostly) in...

    Left Handed and Fountain Pens

    Just ran into this thread. Thanks for the original post John in Covina. Having the usual troubles learning to write as most left-handers do (I’m a non-hooking overwriter myself), I never considered fountain pens as something I could successfully use. I’m now giving the idea serious thought...

    Sleep Baby Sleep

    I checked my VHS copy of the movie and it does include the tune played by Guy Lombardo. Unfortunately, the print that was used for this tape has a splice during the tune so it jumps once. Also in the film, there are a couple of lines of dialog during the song which you may not want. I can't...

    7 Wonders of the World Necktie

    Greetings! It's always nice when you can wear a vintage tie whose pattern relates to the situation you are in. Yesterday, I was at a meeting with a professor of ancient history (I'm a college librarian) and chose to wear an ancient history tie... OK so all my ties are ancient, sort of. In my...
