My last name
is
Czech for game, as in wild meat, so it's likely that my
ancestors were hunters. Me,
I stalk the
21st century in search of 45s and
little portable
phonographs on which to play them. This trip to the midwest was
fruitful--whole
stacks
of
50-cent
records and a cute cardboard player with a
surprisingly big and rich sound discovered in cluttered basement shops.
Years ago Sarah and I typed on this train.
Now she
napped in the sun while the
records spun. It worked
great! The
rhythms overlapped and it only skipped once.
