The sound of....The mamas en papas.

It is that time of the evening. Searching for a "model" Hope this will do.
This is a record. A WHAT? You will hear the young ones ask...

In music, a single or record single is a type of release, typically a song recording of fewer tracks than an LP record, an album or an EP record. This can be released for sale to the public in a variety of different formats.

gramophone
A gramophone is an old type of record player. These days, a gramophone is a real antique.
A gramophone, like a cassette player, CD player, or MP3 player, is a device for playing music. A gramophone plays records: discs with grooves that are amplified by a needle. It's a relic today, but at one time this turntable device was the chief means by which recorded music made its way to the ears of home listeners. The word was originally a trademark, and inspired the Grammy Awards (originally the Gramophone Awards), which are over fifty years old.

Great shot. I still have, and use, my records and record player. Nothing beats the sound of those.

I"ve got some of those but unfortunately most of them are scratched! That icon of music will never be forgotten!

I still have records, not as old as this though.

Wow! What a fabulous photo and what a treasure to have

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I still have many albums and a turntable to play them on but more often I listen to music on line. I don't miss getting up to change the record! Good shot with some nice memories stirred up from it.

Hi Sylvia. I'm your challenge partner this week. I also like seeing bits of other people's lives in other parts of the world. I'd like to see a photo of people/person from you this week. it could be random or planned.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@susanharvey Thanks for this challenge. I will try my best. I live 30 km outside town and with my husband passed away last year I am quite lonely. This is a good challenge. I will have to visit!

Lovely image and I like the black background. I notice you like to receive feedback on your photos, me too. I sometimes don't know whether to critique a photo as some people are not too keen! Following and looking forward to seeing your images :-)
