He went over to find out what was going on there. It turned out that they were selling a wide selection of brand new records from Victor and Brunswick "for five cents a piece. He had not listened to the phonograph for many months. And now he could start it again and put on a record. It became part of his nature. It merged with the phonograph and sounded out of it like a song, a symphony, or a frantic jazz composition. approached the phonograph, and it stood in his room, dusty and silent..."
