I'm doing a re-listen of @andrewhickey.500songs.com podcast from the beginning & loving how well certain things were set up as well as getting more from each. But it really makes me happy/sad how much I wish I could have shared the 50s episodes with my dad, here's some of his 45s:

Another crap* camera that is apparently sought after now. The Nishika "quadrascopic stereo 3D lenticular camera" was a bit of a joke, and the company tried to scam people as a business model, and the prints were....unimpressive, but they 4 exposures can be made into gifs (jiffs) with a retro look.

A dusty but sound Nishiks N8000 quadrascopic stereo 3D lenticular camera. 4 lensrs used to simulate 3D, it's a junky hunk of black plastic.

I can't do it. I've been deep in the buildup to a full Zappa ep by @andrewhickey.500songs.com but I'm due for another Z kick & if I listen I will find myself yammering to coworkers about Shut Up, defending the musical content of Sheik & bidding on a sealed original longbox of Thing-fish. Help!

The greatest heel turn of all time.

A screenshot of the Wikipedia article on the band Sugar Ray. The text reads, 'Sugar Ray is an American rock band formed in Newport Beach, California, in 1992. Originally playing heavier nu metal and funk metal style music, the band achieved mainstream popularity in 1997 with their more pop-influenced single "Fly".'

@andrewhickey.500songs.com You mentioned Club Hangover/The Hangover Club (it was called by both names interchangeably by regulars) was a favorite of my grandfather, a jazz drummer himself and also a photographer for the SF Chronicle. I'll start with the biggest name first, more pics in replies.

NOT AN EPISODE REQUEST @andrewhickey.500songs.com One of my dad's favorite songs was WPLJ, did you come across anything in your research that may give more info on The Four Deuces than on the Wiki? Pics are of his well-worn original 45 plus a list of the rest of what I inherited, just to brag. :)

A 45 rpm record of the Four Deuces legendary single, "W-P-L-J" (White Port and Lemon Juice" on the Music City label.

An impressive list of a small collection of 45 rpm (or at least 7 inch vinyl) records mostly of 1950s rock, R&B, jazz and novelty titles.
