Did you throw out all your old vinyl?
This conversation reminds me of the song, "Do I Hear a Waltz?".. Why you might ask?
I bought a Jo Stafford album, released in 1966. What was I thinking?
It's the only song on that whole album I like. It was nowhere to be found on the internet or on any website that sells digital downloads. I always said one day if I get a turntable that would be the one song I'd transfer to a digital file. But there's more...
There was a man on a seniors-only forum long ago and far away, who was familiar with that song and had that album. He said he melted the record into a fruit bowl. Was he pulling my leg? Did I dream this? Anyway, someone finally posted it on YouTube. They remastered it and the guitar noise overshadows Jo Stafford's rather soft voice.
I need to get out more.

This version of the song is why I wanted a copy of the Jo Stafford version instead. The comparison is a lot like comparing Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston. I just think it's strange to belt out a love song at the top of your lungs. It would scare me away.

While I'm on this topic, this is an analysis by Fil Henley, of Jo Stafford's voice on another song, "You Belong to Me." The first 10 minutes are interesting, but probably only if you are a nerd.
I wish he would take the instrumentals out of "Do I Hear a Waltz" and send it to me.
