"... Golden Records"

They came a several colors, but Boomers mostly remember the gold/or yellow ones. I sure do. I remember constantly playing "The March of the Wooden Soldiers" Till my Ma took it away.

That damned record was driving her crazy.

Being an engineer in the making I screwed open my Mickey Mouse record player to see how it worked.

I put it back together before anyone saw.

It was wild in there with 19th/20th century hybrid tech.

This was 1956 so the 19th century was as close to us then

as the 1960s are to us today. My life, and times such as they were. Yours too.
