notes: The 45 isnt the best format for such long songs! I love records and all, but flipping it over halfway through a groove just kills it! Mr. Brown is definately better off on an LP!

Me spinning track 3, side 2, from the 1963 33 1/3 RPM LP album 'Shut Down', a compilation album of hot rod tunes. This one is Robert Mitchum doing The Ballad of Thunder Road. I hope to eventually make this whole album a playlist.
It is being played on a 1956 Philco E-1762 floor model turntable. One day I hope to get a lamp behind me to give a little more light. Its in a rather dark corner.
