The Globetrotters Meet the Cha Chas, Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, 9/1/12

I had gotten a tip that one of the shops at Booth’s Corner Farmer’s Market was selling records four for a buck, so after Donna was done work, we took a family trip to visit Booth’s Corner, a place I visited often with my family when I was a kid (and also where Bill Haley of “Rock Around The Clock” fame got his start).

When I got to the shop that I thought would be selling the records, I had been told the sale had ended, but then was shown the bins of records that were still available for that price. So I dived in and found about 12 cool records. In fact, I found a few more than 12, but a few of them were pricier that four for a dollar, so I left those at the store and walked away with the 12 for three bucks. I will keep a few of them and make notebooks covers out of the rest.

The most interesting record I picked up was the 1970 soundtrack to The Globetrotters, the Saturday morning cartoon show featuring the basketball legends. I’m looking forward to listening to it, in part because several of the songs were written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield!

Here, the Globetrotters pose with Lisa’s Cha Chas. More on them another time.
