I hear voices (from the past)

What are the stories these old mikes would tell? This was taken in a small antique store on Queen street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They don't sell these mikes, but rather rent them for film and advertising shoots. The store owner allowed me to shoot this series in the store.

This collection reminds me so much of the glory days of Swing &/or some of the best harmonica sounds you can get from a mic.

Swingin' Blues just dying to steal away your girl and make her want to dance.

Now, I'll have to fire up the ol' phonograph and dust off some 33 1/3 LPs. hehe

Thanks for the memories, Sol. This one gets fav'd for sure.
