I picked up this guitar instructional book from 1933. I'm a sucker for guitar method books.
Nothing better than box of vintage 45's @ 4/$1.00.
I picked up a red vinyl Dave Brubeck EP, a Walter Wanderley DJ (promo), a Jim and Jean recording of a Phil Ochs tune (never heard of Jim and Jean, but that's a good thing) and finally, a copy of Silhouettes, co-written by Bob Crewe, the prolific songwriter who passed away this week.
Here's a list of songs he wrote or co-wrote. He hit a dry spell after 1975 but Jersey Boys, the musical about the Four Seasons, probably resulted in a nice final paycheck.
