My 14-year old son wanted a record player for Christmas. Luckily, my mom found her old one and a stack of albums for him. He was on a treasure hunt, looking for "good sounds". He's a big Beatles fan and I'm crazy about The Monkees! Good to see I'm not the only one! I was afraid we wouldn't be able to find speakers for his player, but we got a $5 cord at walmart so that he can listen to it through the little "$20 boom box" we got to listen to iPod at the pool! So he can play cassettes, album (33's only; the 45 speed is broken), cd or iPod!
LOL, just wanted to share that story! And say hi to another Monkees fan!

So now I enjoy my Monkees, disco, Carole King, etc and get a dance or two in to boot! Brings back great memories and takes me back to a simpler time. LOL!! It's fun.
