Sun Label, Great Balls of Fire, Jerry Lee Lewis

Sun Label, Great Balls of Fire, Jerry Lee Lewis, originally uploaded by DaddyNewt.

My parents owned an upright 78RPM Wurlitzer jukebox. It was a massive machine, standing nearly six feet tall and requiring two strong men to move it. The records were stacked on the left in individual metal frames and upon selection the frame would swing out. The turntable would rise from below to lift the record gently up to the tonearm. This beast sat in the corner of the basement directly below the nursery.

For the first three years of my life these were the songs that, quite literally, rocked me to sleep. These were the songs that my parents listened to in the months before my birth, as I dreamed bright and fevered underwater dreams … and the joint was rockin’.
