IT NEVER STOPS
That little turning piece of wax
Was all I needed to relax.
Till someone put a dog of choice
And said that this was now the voice.
And round and round the music went
I thought that it was heaven sent.
I thought it good, I thought it great
Back when it played at 78.
And 45 could sing a song
But 33 could make it long.
Then 8 tracks came, that was a blast!
But like the girls, it didn’t last.
‘cause stereo was on the scene
Then quadraphonic: that was mean.
Pioneer was making sound
But Bose was working underground.
There was a case that could be made
For all the records that I played
But digital is here and then.
I have to buy them all again!
Monster cables; cable stew!
Is Usher there on your Roku?
Cables are so yesterday
Wi Fi now is here to stay.
Speakers weighing thirty pounds?
Well Gramps still has them still around.
And now I have a thousand tracks,
I miss that little piece of wax.
All the powers that be hard at work, I still have all of my albums and only a few 45's. Just like all my shows, documentaries, movies on tape just transferred them all over to CD's and DVD's, but part with the originals, I think not....
A glorious, delirous romp through the ages of music-media-fixtures, and decried to/with melancholy, which was there, in plenty. Yet, hopeful. What next, Peter? Should It stop? I don't think so!
My hubby and I have inherited a juke box from my father-in-law. Along with the juke box there are many 45 records, boxes and boxes of them!!! Many of these records are of old songs, and I have been treasurig them as if they were antiques; and believe me, I like many of the old songs. I prefer them to the modern ones.
With the mp3 players, and iPod and all that stuff now in the market, I would think that our juke box and the records will very soon become antiques, and I greatly treasure them!!!
Modern technologies are good, but the antiques are much better and worth a lot more!!!
