My same-age wife was at the launching of the royal yacht "Britannia" (still on public display in Edinburgh.)
And in my childhood home we still had a 'gramophone' with a steel needle (if you didn't have one a sturdy rose thorn would do) as well as a 12" shellac record about 1/8" thick recorded on only one side: "Carry Me Back To Old Virginny' by Dame Alma Gluck. (Mother of Ephraim Zimbalist Jr.)
Now how can I remember things like this but not what I ate for breakfast?
