Against the back wall of my writing room, sitting on a small end table, is an old record player. I never use it anymore. Today you can just pull out your phone and dial up any song or album you want to listen to, all for the price of a subscription.
But record players are coming back. They are selling like crazy. It’s being called the vinyl revival. The popularity is generated by nostalgia, and what is being termed as a “physical connection” to the music. Turns out folks enjoy holding a record and/or the album in their hands, then playing and listening to it while perusing the cover. Some think the audio quality is better on vinyl.
Whatever the reason, it takes them back to a happier, simpler time of their lives. I’ve still got some of my old records. Maybe I’ll crank up the turntable. Everyone needs a little nostalgia in their lives. Find a good memory, and a song that goes with it. Like the old tune says, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.”
I look forward to your little pep talk every morning.
Thank you so much Judy.
