This is my record; just took it out of the shrink wrap today. It’s been waiting patiently. Oh, so patiently. I don’t know why I came so late to Mingus. The man’s a genius. Love this recording.

Another of my folks’ records. It saw a lot of play as well. I heard this was one of Dad’s favorite movies.

One of Mom’s records; apparently a Christmas gift to herself, December 17th, 1962. It’s seem substantially more play than the three records previous records of my dad’s.

My mom purchased this for my dad for his birthday, January 11th, 1964. I’m playing it, 56 years later.

Another one that I reckon was dad’s. Like “Whipped Cream,” I doubt this one’s seen a turntable since last millenium.
