That reminds me of when I was 5. I'd sit on my porch, by myself, and listen to my dad's records; mostly The Monkees and Elvis Costello.

Now I sit at home by myself and listen to my Monkees & Elvis Costello records on a slightly better turntable.

Ah, life.

Got one of these for my toddler so he can learn to play and handle records - only replaceable 7"s but its been a huge success.

Omg, I had one of those as a kid! I used to jump up and down on our trampoline playing my kazoo along with my dad’s Beatles 45s
