Nun laying down McCook's "Music Is My Occupation"

Quote:
"Sister Ignatius had a record collection of several hundred 45s and 78s, mostly consisting of Jamaican productions and invariably featuring a smattering of former Alpha grads on the recordings. But she could surprise too, as with an LP of Malcolm X speeches, a record she particularly prized. And then there was the dances she ran on Fridays and Saturdays, using a soundsystem she had essentially acquired from "Mutt and Jeff," a printer and a binder at Alpha who were also soundsytem operators in the late '50s and early '60s.

One can not easily appropriate an image of a nun laying down McCook's "Music Is My Occupation"' and following it up with Buster's "Burke's Law," but there were scribbles on a 45 sleeve to suggest she had done just that."
