I met John Hurt through Mike Seger in Newport in '63. His agent, Tom Hopkins said we could sit and talk. Of course it was a festival and I was sitting backstage with him and a few people. A month or so later he was playing at the Philadelphia folk festival. I saw him approaching me and I started walking briskly to him to ask if he remembered me, I was in my early 20s, and when I got near enough, he said 'Hey Man! Do you remember me!?' hehe! That explains Mississippi John Hurt! Instead of me asking, he did! - Jerry Ricks, http://www.blueschat.com/tscripts/bc062198.htm

Wish mine was as big as this....

Oh yes I do   :D

I have just returned from a week in Rome where one of the items in the hotel foyer was this amazing gramaphone.

I was unable to easily get inside it to see the works, but it stood about 4 feet tall from the floor - that is BIG  :P

Just imagine firing that up to hear a CB 78 or two, the sheer volume and presence would put all our electronic hi-fi stuff in the shade.
