My name is John Bruninx and I live in Belgium. I am a collector of 78rpm records, old filmcameras and projectors I am a throwback to the 50's. It was my favorite time period. I liked the music, the people, the way it was. Even TV was better. It is a time long past, but not forgotten. This site is for people who share my nostalgia. Who want to save the originality of the recorded music, from opera to blues jazz R&R aso, in the digital wasteland of today and pass it on to posterity.
