A few months ago I thought I would fire up the turntable

and play one of my favorite Dave Brubeck vinyl records

"Jazz Impressions of the US". It's one of his first recordings from about 1954.

Years ago my daughter found the old vinyl record and gave it to me.

All was good in the world,I put the record on the turntable pressed play,

arm went down, music started.

 

As I listened the record seemed to not last as long as it should.

No big deal, I continued my work turned the record over when side one finished.

Listening to side two also seemed to go quickly also.

 

After the music finished I realized I had been listening to the music at the wrong speed, 45 instead of 33.

So I changed speed and now all was good with the world.

 

I guess at our age Jazz pretty much sounds the same at any speed.

You kno0w you're a geezer when...................................your wife finds your cell phone buried in the truck's center console, turns it on, and busies herself deleting six to seven months worth of messages.

"I only turn the thing on if I need to call somebody," I said. "i haven't needed to call anyone."

And it even has a shovel on top, just like ours.

A youngster asks for $20 if they guess your birthdate. You say sure, they state your birthday, you hand over $20 and ask how they did it and they state "you told me yesterday."
