There's a new sound at our house and its the sound of tunes on vinyl. Miss Caroline, who has always been old-school, asked for a record player for her birthday and this gift has ended up being a treat for the whole family. Vinyl (don't call them records!) is back and Urban Outfitters sells the coolest Crosley record players in fun bubble gum colors.Her requested albums were Imagine Dragons and Mumford and Sons. Bart's contribution was Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. All of that was good and fine, but then she was invited to dive into the collection of Bart's uncle. And home came the Age of Aquarius, the Sound of Music, Frank Sinatra and Sonny and Cher. And now we hang out and all dance in her room. Not only is the music a glimpse into the times of no iTunes and no cell phones, but music on vinyl just sounds better - not quality of sound better, but quality of life better. I can't wait until school starts and I can sew during naptime to the tunes of the Glenn Miller Orchestra. I leave you with this, a snippet of a song that my Dad used to sing to me:
Keep on spinning those tunes Caroline. You're one cool cat!
