My mom was good friends with Pat Boone. He even sent Christmas cards to her every year until the late 1980s. While she hasn't outright said it, my brothers and I are convinced they dated while she was in college in Tulsa.

Early on I owned a few Hermans Hermits 45's, although I don't recall which tracks. Guessing, one was Henry the VIIIth I Am, I'm into Something Good, and There's A Hush.

We had quiet a stack of 45s my sis brother and I and I recall those too with Jackson Five, Beatles, dave Clark Five, Shondells, Chubby Checker etc. The suitcase record player with a stack of 33 1/3 adapters I dont remember who made my guess is it came from Sears or Montgomery Wards. Mom and Dad had a huge Magnavox console stereo .

Oh yea when the vinyl got humped and warped we would put a penny on the tone arm to play it depending on how bad sometimes a quarter dont remember a half dollar or silver dollar ever necessary.

Our record player had a permanent 1" x 1" x 1" block of clay attached to the tonearm. Sure hope vinyl dust doesn't cause cancer!

First LP was in mono, as were the first few Rolling Stones Lp's.

LMAO! That action will increase stylus life, and prolong the vinyls accuracy/sound quality. However, tracking would be greatly improved. :text-lol:
