Put the needle on the record...

Remember these? People used to buy them, rush to the store to get them even! Big, circular discs of music-y goodness. I have a small collection. I’m by no means an audiophile or collector of old vinyl, but I have a few. Mostly I owe my meager collection to friends who see stuff I’d like and pick it up for me. Bruce has red on his head because a friend found “The River” at a thrift store and brought it home just for me. This was only a couple years ago, and until I set aside some money to buy the CD, I actually put the thing on my turntable (I had to buy one at a yard sale just to listen to some vinyl a few years prior), and used them as originally intended.

I haven’t listened to every single one of these all the way through. Some of them came with my house when I bought it (I also have Elvis Live from Hawaii on 8-track!…but it plays badly *frowns*). Still, I think I’ve listened to at least parts of all of them, and this stuff rolls around in my head in various random ways and somehow comes out of me when I’m onstage.
