I remember about seven years ago when I was still in the public schools getting ready to play a record for the children on the first day of school. I pulled the record out of its sleeve and was about to position it on the record player when one boy said to another "That is the biggest CD I ever saw!"
Having used records for over twenty-five years, it never dawned on me that a child might not ever have seen a record before. When I came to my new school, I searched in vain for a used record player but to no avail. They are as obsolete as the dinosaur now. I have seen a few in department stores that retail around one hundred dollars but as a kindergarten teacher, I didn't have those kinds of funds to invest. My large collection of old records sits at home gathering dust. Ah, progress!
