But I have a couple of Jackie Gleason records I didn&#8217;t already have, and a new George Shearing, and I&#8217;m most excited about them.  I&#8217;m looking forward to some of the soul\/R&#038;B\/pop records I picked up as well.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, this trip will not completely overload the new shelving.
