The crazy needles of France

Back in my younger days, my parents loved a song by Les Baxter, “The Poor People of Paris.” To this day, hearing the song reminds me of that cheap GE record player that we bought when we came to the U.S. It was a major achievement finally getting our own set and not having to listen to music on the radio. The song was about life in Paris when it was a French city and not whatever it is now.
