I’m redoing this thread, starting from the very beginning in 1927-1928 and going in order because I think that’ll be more interesting than doing things so scattered. I’m gonna be doing a new entry on this page every month, and I’m also going to be keeping in mind the context of every year. Feel free to express your opinions as you please.
