    Good bye LPs and VHS tapes

    In the move clean up, my wife and I decided to finally dump over 200 albums (mostly 70s R&R). I'm not even sure my Radio Shack turn table still functions. I'm going to try selling them at one of these new vinyl stores that seem to pop up everywhere. Then it's garage sale and dumpster. Anybody remember Melanie Safka?

    I got a brand new pair of roller skates, Mike.

    Of course I do!

    She was a folk-rock singer of the late 60's early 70's. I only remember 2 songs she had that got air time on the radio. One was "Brand New Key", the other was a anti-war song which I don't remember the name of.

    I think it was......."Put Down the Fucking Hand Grenade, and Pick up the Skates and Key".

    OK, you all are officially old. But I bet it never occurred to you to actually buy her album like I did!

    Got that right. "Brand New Key" came out when I was in 7th grade (1971).

    No, back then Melanie was not on my hit list. Like today I was listening to The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, etc.

    Hold the albums, get a USB turntable, record to HDD then sell them at a later date. You'll be kicking yourself a year from now if you don't.

    I appreciate your concern, but I guess "I lost the music in me!" I haven't listened to them in years.
