Hope your moves goes smoothly, I know it's a pain, it can take years to unpack, if ever! Whatever you do, please stick with Mr. Volstead- thank you!

Thanks, Drizzz. I'm uploading as I type. The plan is to get everything up so that all I have to do is create the posts. It just takes time... But I will continue this site as long as I can, including a post of the 78 that was the inspiration for the name.
