Books and more on Friday


Missing my record player
Friday is changing. 

There will still be books; l won't stop reading.

It's just that l don't always finish the book in time for Friday and there are other things l would like to talk about. So Friday is changing to books and more and today the post is about the more.

I have a very simple record player.




As you can see nothing fancy at all, but, it is mine and l love it.

It's not working at the moment. That makes me sad as l recently bought this beauty.


Nat King Cole had a beautiful voice and was gone much too soon.

Tony Bennett was a wonderful singer too.


 If you're wondering where l bought these records l will tell you, Op Shops. They are usually a few dollars, a bit banged up and may be scratched. The Nat King Cole record doesn't even have a plastic sleeve. It just sits in the cardboard. 

Always check before buying 2nd hand records.

Vinyl has a sound all of its' own. I do play a lot of music through YouTube, especially The Wicked North. For all that l don't know if l will ever completely give up vinyl records. I have maybe 20 or so and they will sit patiently on the table until my player is fixed, which, fingers crossed maybe next week.

How many of you still have a record player? Am l the only one?

Let me know in the comments.
