As mentioned above, I don't think I have anything still working that will play them.
I chanced upon this great site where the guy does a write up on what he considers to be the best 100 songs in each decade of the 20th century, you may find your records, if not, it is a great read anyway.
One thing I did learn was that black men had to black up their face if they wanted to sing with the minstrels, sounds funny but was a sign of the racist times :eek:

Most OU stuff is illogical. This is because at the point they're asking you to do something, they are meeting a syllabus requirement. This means that they will only ask you to do something that's been covered by the syllabus to date.Found it now but by god is it frustrating...and illogical.
As an adult and competent Internet user, this might easily be in conflict with your own knowledge and experience.
It's therefore annoying (and illogical) when you have to do it their way. But, by the nature of the assignments, you're marked on your ability to do it their way ... even though the world's moved on since they wrote that and even though you have wider experience.
This is the hardest bit I found about the OU and professional (Microsoft) syllabuses in particular: you have to limit your field of vision only to what they've told/taught you ... and don't try to apply knowledge, experience or logic to it.0 -

Well done Miss Kool!
Well, I am having an absolute mare of a time with my latest assignment...so far my notepad and pen have been chucked across the room twice and the instructions for the assignment almost screwed up or ripped up a couple of time too.
It's research on the internet and I am not bad at research but this is just driving me up the bloody wall as it defies all the normal ways of searching for stuff using the internet...the rules are completely bloody different.
Oh, and it has to be in at midday tomorrow and I have written maybe about 200 words out of the 2000 that needs to be done.
All this is further complicated by youngest beggering his shoulder last night, a hospital trip last night and again this morning, eldest having his bike nicked from our garden along with my brother's bike too and having to go to the vet which has made my lovely clear day today not be clear at all.
Grrrrrr
Oh no, sounds like an absolute nightmare of a day...
Only cheering thing I can say is, tomorrow is another day. Sounds like you've had your troubles in threes today. Hopefully better now on?0 -

As it's an art project it could give another dimension to the art by placing it "in context" rather than in a building with four walls.0 -

Looks good. You should buy one. Operate your websites form a field while hacked into a E1 connection line. You'd avoid paying council tax that way. 0 -

Assignment in! Thank god for that......
I am seriously wondering if I am actually up to all this, call it a crisis of confidence if you will but I completely feel out of my depth now. It is not helped by all that goes on around me, I just can't concentrate even when the boys are not here as the phone invariably goes off asking me to pick one up or see a teacher and when they are here, study is not possible at all!
I suppose I will feel better in the morning......We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0
