RE: Back in My Day...

I am a child of the 60s, and after school I skipped the army call-up for a year. I started at Olivetti, went to college and emerged as a qualified typing machine technician. There were several typing pools in the city, and we were paired with a partner to go and service the machines. So off we went on our Olivetti scooters with our service tool bags to go and service a typing pool consisting of 60 machines. We often stopped off at music shops where they had public earphones, and one day my partner said that he wanted me to listen to a song. It was John Lennon's album "Imagine", and I was totally hooked. The album was banned in our country, but the owner of the shop had them in stock, so I could get one. On my own, I bought stacks of albums, mostly rock and rock ballads, and I still have about 30 left. I also have a modern record player and often listen to the music from way back when.
