A blast from the past

I like to listen to old songs, too. Unfortunately I've given away my record player since most of my record were lost. Friends and brothers borrowed them and never returned them. When I asked them, they did not know what happened to them. I remember when I was a kid, one of my aunt always played her vinyl collection and sang along with it. I guess that was the first time I learn English.

I like the old records, but I mostly get classical music and not for a while, but we used to get Cds of the Best of - that had those old singers from the 50s and 60s. And there are some from before. I know what you mean about not liking the new songs that much because frankly there are few that can really sing. A lot of it is just shouting.

People are saying Vinyl had a warmer sound and record companies are starting to produce albums on vinyl again. I have some vinyl but don't have a record player at the moment, I must get one as I liked listening to old vinyl singles even though CD's were around when I was a teenager.

You still have a record player? Oh I'd love to listen to some of my old records, but they have been packed up in a stupid barn for over 3 years now, I am sure they are all trash by now..

My mom has alot of records that she bought a record player for just to listen to them. I just love music so it doesn't matter if they could put it on a CD or not. I went to my dad's storage last week and found these old CD's that I used to listen to. I drove home listening to them and they are an Argentinian couple that sing love songs. I really enjoy the stories they tell through their music. Those songs used to make me sad but I just tried to listent to the words. In one song he talks about this lady who had everything in his hometown but she was always jealous of her husband. One day she killed him thinking he wss having an affair but later on she discovers he was faithful to her. She admits it was her jealousy that drove her to kill the man she loved. Really dramatic music.

Vinyl seemed a lot more fun to play with but maybe it is because that is something you grew up with and would mean more to you cause it is from your era. I don't know. But yeah vinyl was more fun to set up. $-MrDollars-$

Oh we are going down memory lane here are we? I still have several singles and 33s too. My record player packed up a few months ago but it is easy and cheap to buy a new one here so that is on the shopping list already. I still have the very first single that I bought - "All or Nothing" by Small Faces I bought that at the same time that I bought mu first record player and I played it over and over again because it was the only single that I had until I saved up for the next one the next month. Those were the days! I do have a few CDs but they don't have the same 'feel' to them that vinyl records do and it's sad that not everything is available on them or I would buy more as the sound is much 'warmer'.
