Hilburn's jukebox
![I love my '50s jukebox the way people today love their iPods — only more so. Unlike the cheap, tinny speakers that came with radios and record players during rock's first decade, the big jukebox speakers allowed the music to <I>explode</I> into the room. The coolest jukebox in those days was the Seeburg Select-o-matic, which contained 100 recordings (50 two-sided singles). You can see that model — in living color — in the cafe fight scene in Elvis Presley's second movie, "Loving You." I bought a beat-up Select-o-matic at a jukebox repair/rental shop on Pico Boulevard in the '70s. It is now the centerpiece of my den, and my heart still skips a beat every time the music starts. Here are two dozen of the 45s and their position in my jukebox:](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-08/24802910.jpg "I love my '50s jukebox the way people today love their iPods — only more so.
