 MUSIC
LINKS |
| • Nauck's
Vintage Records Kurt Nauck operates, what I consider, simply the best vintage record auction. I've gotten a number of 78 rpm recordings from him. His site not only has the current auction listings, but also a huge number of other collecting resources. I usually get to see Kurt at the annual Antique Phonograph Show in Union Illinois the second weekend of June. |
| • Kiddie
Record King This guy has done a great job documenting recordings made for children. I remember a great many of the records he has featured on the site. His Links Page contains an extensive list of recording novelties, societies and collecting information. |

Electric Railroads I have had a long love affair with model railroads, especially trolleys, street cars and interurbans. This is a huge site with numerous photos of prototype equipment. Great street scenes of your hometown back in the good old days! |

Horror Hosts For everyone who ever stayed up late watching monster movies on Friday and Saturday night. This site has complete biographies of all the Milwaukee television hosts of such shows as Nightmare Theater. Doctor Cadaverino was one of my favorites. There are also program lists detailing the movies shown and a wonderful set of links. |
| • Chippewa
Falls / Rice
Lake I'm planning to retire in 18 months (who's counting!) and this is the part of Wisconsin where I plan to do it. It's in the far Northwest part of the state about an hour East of Minneapolis-St. Paul. Wisconsinites call this area "Up North," full of little places with colorful histories. I check once a week for real estate, fishing reports and small town news. |
| • Tyrell
Corporation I have always enjoyed science fiction and have read everything from Isaac Asimov to Jules Verne. I'm something of a closet Trekkie and have enjoyed many of the newer movies. This is a new site that proports to be documenting 20th Century history for use in the memory banks of a series of automotons being developed with artificial intelligence. A growing database will feature memories (nostalgia) and Aural History (music files). Check it out for a sci-fi twist to blogging. |
