John Dalmas:

For those of us whose hair is rapidly greying (or graying), eroding or
both, the distant past is not the same place as it is for the more hirsute
music lover.  I've always thought a historical recording to be one which
dates from before the age of LP.  I know there were exceptions but does
1950 seem a good cut-off point?

John signed himself:

>John Dalmas (pedantly yours)

Forgive me, John, but you mean "pedantically".  And yes, I do realise I've
set myself up...
