I had nothing on my dad who owned more than 500 (33 1/3) LPs and over 100 78 RPMs at the time of his death in December 2019. I had no idea he had so many. We found them spread all over the house when we prepared for the estate sale. I went through every one and categorized them on an app called Discogs. I thought so many were unique,

Volume 100: Frank’s Favorites

2022/11/27

I’m going to nickname this episode Frank’s earworms because these were the songs that stuck in my head sometimes for weeks after recording a show.

So get ready for an episode with a lot more music and a lot less of me talking with Volume 100: Frank’s Favorites. Credits and copyrights Girl From Ipanema - Nat King Cole written in
