This brings to mind a story - a dear friend of mine came to my house one time, and with enthusiasm he picked up a British made 'White" cylinder record in original box w/lid. Unfortunately, he picked it up before I could shout that the box bottom had come unglued. So naturally the record fell out and shattered on the wood floor. He checks boxes before picking them up now. In another case, I sold a mint 2 minute wax record to another collector, one that he had been searching for for a long time. He related to me that as soon as he received it, he opened the box and picked it up (It was arranged on its side in the shipping box). Unfortunately, he picked it up in such a way that when he lifted it out of the shipping box and removed the ruibber bands, it was upside down, and fell out and smashed on his desk. He never even got to hear it. John Robles

I dropped it and it shattered. I was sick because it was one of my favorites. Unfortunately, I didn't keep lists of my cylinders in those days and couldn't remember the name of the song. I would like to try and figure out what it was and obtain another copy. (I won't drop this one). It is a guy singing about a woman that he's met and is saying what a nice time he had. His friends all exclaim "Me too!". This pattern follows throughout the song. Does anyone know the song that I'm talking about and the name of it?
