In 1955 I was 17 and faced with a long summer when I stayed at my grandmother's with no prospects of a trip anywhere, so I decided to fill my life with as many activities as I could cram into those summer days.  I made lists and lists of things to occupy myself and enjoyed a most interesting and active summer.
 
To begin with I made a list of all the 33 1/2 records that I owned:
 
Aida
 
Belafonte
 
Brute force Steel band
 
Cara Mia
 
Chacksfield
 
Compagnon de la Chanson
 
Mormon Tabernacle Choir
 
My Fair Lady
 
Night on Bare Mountain
 
Paganini
 
Paris After Midnight
 
Swan Lake
 
The King and I
 
Warsaw Concerto
