I don't think we had all these 45s at my house and my sister loved to listen to records.

I don't have this many now. There may only be one 45 rpm record in the house and it is not a hit.

But I can listen to them when I please long as no one takes my internet awaaaay --- sort of like don't take my kodachrome away.

It will take a few evenings to collect all the links - if you like to help or take on another year - 1966 - 1974 or so...let me know and I wll show you how.
