I see many examples of lists of records.  E.g....

set theRecords to {{foo:1, bar:"hello"}, {foo:2, bar:"Goodbye"}}
foo of item 2 of theRecords
--> 2

But how do you create such a list?

set recordList to {}
set oneRecord to {foo:1, bar:"hello"}
set recordList to recordList & oneRecord
-->{foo:1, bar:"hello"}
set twoRecord to {foo:2, bar:"Goodbye"}
set recordList to recordList & twoRecord
recordList
-->{foo:1, bar:"hello"}

Apparently records refuse to concatenate into a list.

Also tried this:

set recordList to {{}}
set oneRecord to {foo:1, bar:"hello"}
set recordList to recordList & oneRecord
-->{foo:1, bar:"hello"}
set twoRecord to {foo:2, bar:"Goodbye"}
set recordList to recordList & twoRecord
recordList
--> {{}, 1, "hello", 2, "Goodbye"}

It adds the contents o\f the records to the list, but not the complete records.

What am I missing?
