Any idea of how to determine the value of old vinyl – VICTOR DM358 Rhapsody?

I n Blue. Performed by Boston Pops, Jesus Maria Sanroma Pianist, and Arther Fielder Conductor. 2 discs, Red Seal Record (78) in very good condition.

I’m looking for an MP3 of Steve Allen’s “What is a Freem”. Anyone have one or know where I can get it?

Would be happy to pay for it if necessary. I already have a 78 vinyl (but sadly no access to a 78 Record Player).

Seniors: What was the name of the trumpeter who couldn’t stop laughing while playing?

My aunt had a “very old” 78 vinyl record of a man playing the trumpet, who couldn’t stop laughing as he played. Listening to this man laughing as he played the trumpet, was hilarious & I couldn’t stop laughing as I listened to him. He’d play a few notes then burst into laughter throughout the entire song. I can hear bits of the slow song he was playing but not enough to think of the name.
No, it wasn’t Louie “Satchmo” Armstrong.
Nor was it Slim Gilliard.
oops! I mean Gaillard
This is bugging me now, so I will do my homework & see what name I come up with. The song he’s playing is real sad & to hear him laugh as he did was hillarious. Made me laugh so hard. I’m thinking it was from the 1940′s but I’m not sure.
Shar….When I get the answer, I’ll let everyone know. Hopefully someone will come up with the right answer because I’m stuck. My aunt has passed away & I have no idea what became of that funny record.
Nana T…..Are you talking about “Mikey?” (Michael Gilchrist)
I finally found the name of the record. It’s called “The Okeh Laughing Record.” (circa 1923) The performers are Al H. Weston & Irene Young. Three minutes of silliness bound to make you laugh & put you in a good mood if you aren’t already.

**Below the squares on page one, click on the word “older” then look for the pink box that says the “Okeh Laughing Record.”

AlphaHilo….I have no idea what made the lady start laughing but the laughter is contagious as you experienced. Glad you enjoyed it.

Another English Riddle?

An old fashioned 78 vinyl record has a diameter of 12 inches.  The outside border is a 1⁄2 inch wide and the distance from there to the central hole is 5 1⁄2 inches.  If you put the needle down at the very edge of the playing area, how far will the needle have traveled by the time the music stops?  You can assume that there are 83 grooves to the inch.

Can I use software to fix wrong recording speed?

I want to record my old vinyl records as CDs. My very nice Pioneer turntable has no “78″ speed. Can I record at 45 speed and then correct it using software? I know I need to use a different stylus for 78s, but otherwise can I do what I propose? I would prefer not having to buy a “78″ turntable!
Software like Audacity.

Do you still have your first vinyl record 45, 331/3 or 78? and what is it?

Playing Antique 78 Records?

What are the differences in playing them as compared to playing classic vinyl LP,16 and 45?

Explaining Mixed Martial Arts

You have probably heard of karate or judo. But did you know that there is such a thing called mixed martial arts?

Mixed martial arts or MMA is a full contact combat support which allows players to fight in a competition using various fighting techniques. The rules allow the fighters to use various striking and grappling techniques both while standing and on the ground.

But MMA was first introduced by the Greeks in 648 B.C. Back then, it was called the pankration which was introduced into the Olympic Games. Records show that there was a similar version of this in the 1800′s which continued on in the early 1900′s until the MMA came out in 1993 with the establishment of the Ultimate Fighting Championship or UFC.

The difference between the MMA and those in the past is that this was initially created to find out which hand to hand combat technique works best to fight in a combat situation so fighters of various disciplines were gathered. During that time, there were only a few rules but more than 10 years later, additional ones were adopted to increase the safety of those who computed and to promote the sport.

Today, you can see the Ultimate Fighting Championship on television. Research shows that mixed martial arts is now more popular today than boxing especially when more people were willing to pay to see it on pay per view channels surpassing wrestling and boxing.

There are now 5 weight classes namely lightweight which is 67 to 70 kg, welterweight which is 71 to 77kg, middleweight from 78 to 84 kg, light heavyweight from 85 to 93 kg and heavy weight from 94 to  120 kg. There are 4 other weight classes but these are not currently being used by the UFC.

How someone wins in mixed martial arts is pretty simple. If the opponent taps the floor, the match is over. The same happens if the opponent is knocked unconscious. Should both fighters still be standing at the end of the match, the winner will be decided by the judges.

Illegal contact with the other opponent is called a foul. The referee inside the ring may deduct points from one player or even disqualify that person if the act committed was intentional or no contest if this was unintentional.  

One of the biggest differences in mixed martial arts is the ring where the fighters play. Unlike a boxing or wrestling ring that is shaped in a rectangle, competition here is done in an octagon shaped cage. The eight sided structure has walls of metal chain link fence coated with black vinyl. There is padding around the top of the fence and between each of the eight sections as well as two entry-exit gates which are opposite each other.

Competitors who enter the ring have to wear proper attire. This means going into the ring with approved shorts and no shoes. Gloves must also be approved and have at least an inch of padding around the knuckles so the person will still be able to use his fingers and grab the opponent without the risk of injuring the hand.

Is mixed martial arts nice to watch? The answer is yes given that there are now more people watching it and others who want to join the competition. There was even a reality show that come out recently called the Contender which first started airing boxers fighting in the ring.
