45 Rpm

45 rpm tossed aside spinning again no more, old, unwanted turntable cruelly cast out of a door; in the attic kept away gathering dust silently, not unlike a transient life to the end pointing surely; music fading, we following, fleeting like a crazy dream, meaningless and forgotten, no better than a 45 rpm.

Those 45's were better than the hip hop garbage we get to hear and listen to with a bottle of Pepto Bismal. I like 45's we should ave some for our turntables and two for our holsters. What a combination, street justice and good music. Have a great day, Fred. Vince

OH yes, the old 45's. This is a very sentimental write that brings the reader into a hidden treasure from the attic with beats of Chubby Checker, Dion, Fabian, The Crests, Songs that remain in our hearts forever, the era may have ended, but the melody lingers forever, this is a very sweet memory lane write...

We still have a little suitcase holding those little 45's....don't know why we keep them 'cause we have nothing to play them on, but just haven't got the heart to let them go! I danced in Jr. High to those songs!! ~ Carrie

So the world moves on, as it should. Everything has it's place in time. Never forgotten, never meaningless. There are many secret treasures in our attics. Love, Shar
