Re: How many folks here had record players as children and what did you listen to?

I had a record player from a very young age (3, maybe). I had children's talking/story records, Disney records (Sleeping Beauty soundtrack, Mickey Mouse club), and some classical 78's -- Rubinstein playing Schumann's Kinderszenen and Falla Ritual Fire Dance. The Ritual Fire Dance completely thrilled and terrified me. There was a point in the music where I would get so frightened that I would have to take the needle off the record. Then I would play it again, just to scare myself one more time, and to see if I could be brave enough to listen all the way through.

Another story: I had a talking record about firemen. The firemen respond to a fire call, and break the windows of the house to put out the fire. One day this got me so excited that I broke all the upstairs windows in the house with a golf club.

The power of vinyl!
