Oh, how much this newer generation has missed out on, with it's high tech gadgetry. 45's. Now those were the days.

Lovely use of images, a clash of yesterday and the present. Another excellent story-poem. You have a gift Mary.

I think many of us oldsters still have 45' and 33's around. I still play records sometimes and my grandkids love to hear them. I even have A few 78s around. I really enjoyed the poem!....M

technology dates all of us Mary -- although when you stop and think about it differently -- I-POD or and old LP or 45, cassette or disc, they all provide us with the same service, music that we may enjoy --a warm cozy feeling kind of poem Mary -- one I too can easily relate with at my age -- try to tell children today that you were born before television and transistor radios -- what! -- peace and love my dear friend -- Jon Michael

Hi Mary
This is wonderful. I still have a few 45s and lots of 33s. Hubbie has been given the task to put them all on CD - not nearly so romantic. Be well, Liz

Ouch! I remember teiing my children about the 'Good Ole Days' and my son asking, "Dad, did they have cars when you were little?" Sometimes it's best to just let memories lie. Great write, Mary.

I'd much rather listen to the old 45's sometimes than the Ipods or M3p players; easier to operate, for one thing. LOL Now I suddenly feel 90 instead of fifty; thanks a LOT, Mary! LOL Cute write; well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

"Out of the mouth of babes," is a quote from someone, can't remember who just now. I sure wish I had held on to all my old 45s. I had all of the original Elvis Sun Label recordings. Oh well. Cute poem and I didn't see anything strange about the way the poem was posted. Maybe it is your computer.
