    Love that auto-return mechanism; last disc goes off to the pile....

    It's fascinating how this is an American composition, and yet it has such an aura about it of the Old World -- the Europe of a bygone era. More specifically, the melancholic nature of the music reminds me so very strongly of the overall emotional atmosphere of so much of the music I heard as a child on my grandmother's old Finnish-language 78-rpm discs ( which I presently still have, and will always highly treasure as mementos of her ).
    If I were to hear this melody, for the first time and in the absence of any identifying information, I would assume this to have been a Finnish song of the 1930s -- instead of an English one. In spite of the wistfulness of music such as this, I do feel a certain definite affinity for it. There is in fact, a certain comfort in it for me, even . . . !
    Other melodies in this same mould for which I have great fondness are Irving Berlin's "Reaching for the Moon" -- check out especially the S.C. Lanin version, pressed on Durium and available on UA-cam -- and "Nostalgia'' by the Benny Goodman Orchestra. ( I believe this last tune was written by Eddie Sauter, who at the time in the early 1940s, was working for the the band as arranger ).
    Yours, Richard Laine.

    Yikes! Does the record actually slide over the end of the brake lever as it is ejected? It does sound as if it is scratching across the grooves! I don't think I would trust this machine to play anything more valuable than an Arden & Ohman record!! (But it's still fascinating to watch it in action.)
