Forty-three years ago a fellow learned that I had a reel to reel tape recorder. He insisted that I come to his home and go through his recorded reels to have some material to listen to. He had worked for the Armed Forces Network and had made recordings of the shows they placed on the air.

There were the regular singers of the era such as Peggy Lee, but the tape that I enjoyed most was "The Legend of Jimmy Blue Eyes".

My local library used to have old time broadcasts recorded and one day when I went in to check one out they were all gone from the shelves. When I asked about their whereabouts I was told they had been discarded due to lack of being checked out as they needed the shelf space.

I never knew libraries threw books and other material away if it wasn't used a certain number of times within a year. Now there is a Friendshop where material is sold or given away instead of just being discarded.
