ahhhh chris - I believe that a lot that is wrong with the world today could be helped if the turntables, the 45's and the long-playing albums could come back - LOL - Seriously though, this small, wonderfully written piece speaks volumes to me. There is a LOT to be said for having 3 tv channels, and only 1 tv, 1 telephone, and that huge, piece of furniture in every living room in America in the 60's. That magical record player that brought Elvis and the Beatles right into our homes!

oh Sandy i could not agree with you more! don't get me wrong, i'm all for modern technology and what-not, but there was something so much simpler and meaningful in those days...i grew up in the 70's and early 80's when the music industry was really changing and i miss artists who were real musicians, playing instruments and could actually sing live. the LP only made it more real and down to earth. thanks for the comment, my friend. take care.

I love the tension between the title and the poem, and the comfy loneliness of it all.

there's something very comforting about the sound of an old needle scratching on a record. thanks for the comment!

Oh, I LOVE this. (that parenthetical is to die for, unlike this one.)

i wish i still had mine. i think it's at my parents house as well.

Wow I love this, assuming i understood it correctly. Hope after loss and loneliness. I enjoyed the subtlety of the piece and the implications of each statement, that once processed became so dramatic in my mind. ~emn8
