   me too……you’re REALLy old if you remember that phonograph players used to come with FOUR speeds:
   16 , 33, 45 and 78 rpms
   (I must admit though, that I never saw a record that would play at 16——well, they all could, but at the correct speed recorded)

   Records were thick, heavy and easy to break or scratch. Needles were tipped with a diamond or sapphire. Good old days.

   I believe that 16 RPMs was for books on records for the blind. This was back before books on tape.

   Also, I used to play my Alvin and the Chipmunks records to tell that Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. (AKA David Seville) did all of the Chipmunks’ voices.

    I knew that! And I’m not REALLY old… or at least that’s what I tell myself. ;-) Now, if you ask my 7 year old, she does call me old. Sigh…
