A couple of nights ago, Speedy was cleaning out his closet and he took out a stack of playing records. Alex stared and said, “What’s that?” Kinda hard to explain to a kid whose earliest memories of music storage are audio CDs. The exchange inspired me to take photos of the playing records with Sam’s old Girst Generation iPod Nano which was handed down to Alex a few weeks ago.
For those too young to know, those large cardboard containers house playing records… which were played on things called turntables like these. Playing records are the iPods of the 1880s through the mid-1980s when audio CDs first hit the market. Their content were non-changeable unlike the iPods that you kids have today.
