Rick, interesting you should use the term “shellac”. Shellac is made of resins extracted from dead beetles indigenous to India. It is also what most phonographs records were made from prior the the development of the petrochemical industry during WWII. George Harrison is rolling over in his grave . . . we hope.
Love the look and feel of the new SMS site BYW . . . although at first I couldn’t figure out how to post.
Hey Jim,
First it’s great to see you show up at the new joint…..BUT, Are you saying that shellac is made from John Lennon’s And George Harrison’s dead body fluids when they were in India ? But seriously thanx for the detail on Shellac! We recalled the fact about the early use of the resin in old phonograph records. But mostly we used the word cuz to us it sounded funny and we recall back when we were kids, if we got in trouble our parents would threaten us by saying “Your gonna get a good Shellacing” or sumthin like that… Anyway, we always look forward to your insightful posts and kind words! Please don’t be a stranger….Thanx my old friend!
Betelgeuse..
