Retro record player

Do you remember those retro record players? They were usually plastic, and had carrying handles. Mine is long lost, but the image shows one. It might be a new one, in the retro style. Which ever, it is still so cool. Today I was just remembering my (late) twin sister and I listening to LP…

Music and the modern technology

Music technology sure has changed over the years, hasn’t it? Can you remember 8 track tapes?
