Quotes About Victrola

We had an old Victrola with the old bulldog they used to have there. The horn would come out.
~ Jay McShann
A victrola was a big deal in those days, and there weren't any parlors around that had one except Alice's. I spent many a wonderful hour there listening to Pops and Bessie. I remember Pops' recording of 'West End Blues' and how it used to gas me. It was the first time I ever heard anybody sing without using any words.
~ Billie Holiday
