to care. I guess I'm gettin' older because I have memories of things that the kids of today don't have a clue about. I was talking to a girl at work who's in her 20's about records. I said that I had alot of records on vinyl. She looked at me with amazement! Then my friend Joe sent me this intersting mix of products from "the good ole' dayz. How many of these do you remember?
