\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Interesting title? I’ll get to that. <\/span><\/strong>\"Scott<\/strong> Let me first update you on my father.\u00a0 In my last blahg,\u00a0WHAT HAPPENED TO MR. HENDERSON?<\/a>, I wrote about my Father and our experiences with Belleville General Hospital (BGH) in Belleville, Ontario.\u00a0 If I haven’t said how much I dislike this hospital or how really bad I believe the hospital is, let me say it now:\u00a0 <\/span>Belleville General Hospital Sucks!!\u00a0 <\/span><\/em><\/strong>My Father came home on October 15th and I decided I didn’t want to fight with the hospital anymore.\u00a0 On October 18th we had to send him back to the hospital because he had pneumonia.\u00a0 The hospital did not put him on any anti-biotics, knowing he was going back out into the wide world, and so without the pre-thought of this simple precautionary measure, my Father got pneumonia.\u00a0 The hospital tried to blame us for it saying we hadn’t given him water flushes through his feeding tube so he wouldn’t become dehydrated at that we allowed him to lie flat and not at a 45 degree angle.\u00a0 Shut up BGH, we were not told about the water flushes and the home-care that they provided didn’t do the flushes.\u00a0 We also always had him on a 45 degree angle even when sleeping.\u00a0 So he’s back in BGH and we’re back in the ring fighting with them until he can come home again.\u00a0 Sorry for the long winded sidetracked opening.\u00a0 <\/span>

So, 16 inches of trouble.\u00a0 What does that even mean? \"16<\/a> Well, this has been a blahg that I have wanted to write for a few months.\u00a0 Back in April, I came across a listing on Ebay for the following:\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

This is a RARE Vintage 1945 Large 16\u201d Thesaurus \/ Orthacoustic Vinyl Radio Broadcast Transcription Record. Made by RCA – NBC National Broadcasting Company \/ NBC Radio Recording Division, this 16\u201d record is titled on both sides \u201cMusic Fights for Infantile Paralysis \/ Frank Sinatra with Axel Stordahl & His Orchestra \u2013 March of Dimes Campaign\u201d. The record is Orthacoustic #ND4-MM-9649\/50. The record is in very good condition with only some light surface wear & a few light scratches. It includes the original plain brown paper sleeve, that has wear mostly just in the corners.<\/h4>\n

If you click on the picture on the left you can see how big this 16 inch record is.\u00a0 It’s 16 inches!\u00a0 It wasn’t the size of the record that made me want to buy it but what was listed on the label on one side.\u00a0 Click on the close-up picture of the label to the right.\u00a0\"\"<\/a> It clearly shows three songs:\u00a0 “I Dream of You”, “The Trolley Song”, and “When You’re Alone.”\u00a0 It was that last song, “When You’re Alone” that launched me into buying this record.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now I don’t think I need to tell you that I’m an avid Sinatra fan and collector.\u00a0 I’d never heard of a song recorded by Sinatra with the title “When You’re Alone.”\u00a0 There exists a song called “When You’re Alone” published in 1919 and credited to Eugene West & Otis Spencer.\u00a0 I can’t find lyrics for it but here’s a video on Youtube of an instrumental version from the 78 by Paul Biese and his Novelty Orchestra: <\/span>
