Celebrating the Fourth
Posted: Wed Jul 03, 2019 6:42 pm
When my four kids were little and still living at home I'd start celebrating the fourth in what I thought was a fun way.
First thing in the morning, I'd take my Victor 50 portable upstairs into the hallway outside their bedrooms, crank 'er up and blast Sousas' "Stars and Stripes Forever".
They didn't like it
But that didn't stop me from doing it for years.
Well, the years have passed. They're all in their 20s or 30s and have move out. But, that hasn't stopped me!!!
Oh, no!
Now, what I do, is the same thing, only now I put my cell phone in front of the Orthophonic speaker, dial each one individually and, start the record!!!
For a couple of years, I forgot to call them and, you know, I heard about from them. They missed it!!!
I'm very lucky that my wife and all the kids love the phonographs and record.
We do a big family dinner every Sunday and it's not unusual for the kids to crank up the phonographs and play records.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the story.
