Let's See How Old You Really Are........

YIKES!!! I am old!! *sighs*

I wish I could say I haven't a clue but alas...........this was me many times in my room listening to New Kids on the Block over and over and over and having to fix the tape when my cassette player wouldn't rewind anymore. :bigsmile:

I remember lifting the tone arm up, to place the needle on the place on the 45 that I wanted to hear.

OMG That is too funny! I remember my first tape was Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road that the babysitter taped for me, and there was a skip in GYBR and for years I sang it that way, until I eventually bought it on CD & realized THEY sang it wrong! ha ha ha

LOL............this subject is hilarious

My 2002 Toyota still has a tape player - I tried playing a tape in it not long ago, and it sounded all warped and crazy !

I still have some cassette tapes that I like to play at times...........heck, even CD's are becoming a thing of the past with Ipods and MP3 players (neither of which I have

I AM SO OLD!!! lol.
:glasses: :glasses: :glasses:

One thing I loved about upgrading to CDs... no more "cassette puddles" in a hot car. LOL

A couple years ago, I took my dad to an Art Garfunkel concert. After the show, he said he wanted to buy a CD. I told him that I was surprised he didn't already have some of his albums. Dad said, "Oh, I've had his albums several times. I've had them on vinyl, 8 track, cassette.... I just need to get it in the digital format now."

I laughed so hard. My dad is older than dirt.

I use an MP3 player sometimes, and Pandora when my phone is fully charged. I only use CDs in my car, and my next car will probably have MP3 capabilities too.

I used to multitrack recording of me playing guitar by recording onto one tape, sticking that tape in the second player, rewinding it and playing while recording and playing something on top of it onto a second tape. Oh no I've gone cross-eyed.
But it was a great way to come up with songs and tinker with harmonies and such without expensive equipment.

I also remember spending about 3 months making a bunch of perfectly constructed mixtapes for when I got my first car. It was a bit disappointing when I put a tape in my "new" car only to find the tape player broken. Oh the horror!

I used to hate the crinkling sound when you'd be playing a tape which meant the tape player was busy eating the tape and destroying your recording of Bomb The Bass.

...and it used to be a BIG deal to have a dual cassette player/recorder cuz you could copy your own tapes, hahaha.

You mean I wasn't the only cool one?! :sad:

I have had some of the same music on vinyl (33rpm, 45 rpm) , Reel-to-Reel, 8-Track, Cassette, CD, MP3 and now on my iPod. I mean 'the Same Music". My tastes haven't changed. I just keep buying the same stuff on different formats.

Technology keeps getting better, but the music isn't. The great stuff is still Classic Rock and Blues.
