Shall I regale you with stories of cranking the handle on the telephone to reach the switchboard or someone else on your party line? Actually, I only had to crank the phone when I was at a friend's house. We had the switchboard for the community in my house. (Insert "Operator" jokes here.)
Dial telephones? Kids! Huh!
Reel to reel and LPs! That was real music. Bring the 78s and don't be late.
(In fact, I might just have a 78 by Johnny Cash with Big River and Ballad of A Teenage Queen around here someplace. Seems odd that I can now carry an FM receiver, about 1000 songs and pictures in a device about the size of a small box of matches.)
Time marches on.
My Father, who was born in 1903 used to say,"Anyone who talks about 'the good old days' wasn't there."
