Of course, all of that seems absolutely primitive to the younger generations, who have immediate access to millions of songs on their phone devices.

Actually a lot of younger people seem fascinated by analog technology - the vinyl resurgence seems to be fueled in large part by younger people, not just people like me who want to re-assemble the vinyl collections we used to have as kids and teenagers.

My 15 year old nephew received a record player for his birthday. He is creating a vinyl collection. Favorite singers are classic country like Johnny Cash.

I do not believe in reincarnation, but the nephew’s tastes remind me so much of my dad. (His grandfather)

I had a carrying case for my 45 collection and a portable record player that was built into a carrying case; party in a box!

My 18 year old son loves playing vinyl of AC/DC, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Cream, and whatever else good rock and I collected over the years, or he finds for cheap at used record stores. I love hearing what he’s spinning.

What do you mean “re-assemble?” Mine was never disassembled. No disassemble, no disassemble!

There’s an ad running lately for a turntable that is aimed at young people. It states that “If you don’t have much vinyl in your collection yet you can stream via Bluetooth” to the turntable.

I was at Target the other day and noticed they had an entire section for vinyl records, including three different models of turntables for sale. Definitely something going on with younger people and vinyl.

Ahhh, you should see my husband’s vinyl collection! We lost a good bit because of a flood some 19 years ago. We were so distraught when it happened that we pitched everything, even though the vinyl itself could’ve been cleaned up. Instead we licked our wounds, and moved on.

When our kids were old enough to go to college, we discovered a used vinyl store not far from one of the campuses. The kids had grown up listening to our old vinyl, so they were always in love with it the same way we were.

After rediscovering that vinyl was on its way back, we bought each of our kids their own turntables and sound systems. They all have built up their own collections of old and new vinyl. We also bought used albums of almost every single one of the albums we lost in the flood.

My husband is a sound system hobbyist, and he has set up speakers all throughout our home, so that we can play the vinyl and the sound is in nearly every room. It’s so wonderful!

We are happy that our now grown children (ages 29 -34) are enjoying the old analog along with the digital formats. Long live vinyl!
