Description
The episode 17 of "the story of my life" tells about my Lionel train set I had since I was 5 years old in Kindergarten in Muncie, Indiana in 1956 at Chrismas time, and also tells about my first musical instruments I bought and owned, with others not yet mentioned, like my Farfisa Compact electronic organ made in Italy, and I got that in 1967 when I was in me 2nd year of high school, for only $350 used which was purchased for me in downtown Indianapolis then at a place called Indiana Music Store. I also bought at the same time and same place, a Kalamazoo Bass 50 tube amplifier with 50 watts of RMS power for the 2 ten inch Jensen musical instrument speakers, which are made in the USA, surprise! Not made in Japan or China or Malaysia or Vietnam (my newest great pro Nikon D3300 red DSLR 24 megapixel camera made by the world famous camera and lens company, Nikon, in Tokyo, Japan, was made in Vietnam! Can you believe it? Anything to cut down on labor costs! But it was a fantastic camera, before my former roommate here stole it from my closet while I was out of the room. So I need to buy a new camera someday. I have a small Sony Cybershot with Zeiss lens, zoom, tiny great camera which I only had to pay 100 dollars for! I also talk about my Schroetter cello from Germany I received as a high school graduation present and my Teisco Del Ray electric guitar I bought for 1 hundred dollars around the year of 1963 when I was in the 7th grade in Indianapolis back than. More to follow.
