I think back at the old radiogram my parents had, and the 78 records whirling around so fast they almost achieved escape velocity. And that is a fine old photograph Roy - perfect Sepia Saturday material.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-35052701412406762492012-09-13T01:52:42.939-04:002012-09-13T01:52:42.939-04:00Jiminy Cricket's roots go deep in my family.

I loved the soundtrack so much I bought the CD & still play it regularly. This song was used at the end of the film when the protagonists finally meet. They also used Durante's version of "As Time Goes By". Nat King Cole's cover of "Stardust " is used. It's one of the most romantic soundtracks I've heard.

I seem to associate a song "Make The World Go Away" with that jukebox. Does that ring a bell with you at all?
