Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl

Frank Vaccariello

Extensive and Eclectic and we hear them as is with skips, scratches, and pops. Being a radio and mobile DJ for a decade and a half, I collected several hundred albums. 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,

2022/05/08

It’s mothers day…and I miss my mom very much. She’s been gone for almost seven years now. But I know that this is one of those albums that she would have chosen to be on the stereo.

Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl ·

2022/05/01

You would think that polka music would be out of place in an Italian household. But not ours. It was one of the dances my parents loved to do and one I would even attempt at the right wedding. It was the music my grandmother and one of her sisters loved to play on the organ. And this kind of polka has Cleveland written all over it. So get ready for some beer drinking and skirt twirling with Volume 70: 7 Decades of the Polka King. Credits and copyrights: Frank Yankovic – 70 Years Of Hits Label: Smash

Man, I wish I had kept the notes for the upper division History of Jazz class I took at Kent State University. Because Duke Ellington was on Professor Chaz Baker’s Mount Rushmore of Jazz.
