A few years ago - probably 10 now - I found a post on Craigslist for some rolls. I hit the jackpot. Hundreds of rolls, a large roll cabinet, and a Victrola. Now when I get rolls, I mark them so I know where they came from and when I got them. At the time I got that big lot, I wasn't marking rolls. I have at least one other Blue Bird copy like this, as well as the older tan label QRS without / before lyrics. I picked this one because it came from that big lot. How do I know? See the black mark on the bottom half of the box? And how dirty the label is? Most of the rolls I got that day had smoke damage of some sort. And if they had the black flange ends, many of them were flat spotted from the heat and age. I'm glad I was able to get those rolls and share them with all of you. I hope you enjoy one of the best-known marches in history.
