[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 2410 1960

Tue Sep 5 17:05:43 PDT 2006

Steve,
I like the story of when you were little.  Parents don't think of all the 
little things that have a positive effect on our kids.  I have 4 sisters 
(and 2 borthers that have passed on) and when we sit around we all have cool 
stories like yours to laugh and cry about.  You should jot down your Jukebox 
memories on paper, you think you will never forget that feeling but somehow 
as time passes those memories are not as strong.  You can pull out your 
journal and re-live the moment just by reading it again.   It could also 
make a great book!
Jackie
