The advent of the LP?

In working on putting in the new hardwood floors in my sister-in-law's house Aaron discovered a fully-functioning stereo which includes a turntable. He has been happily listening to his 1980's LP's all morning as he has been taking up the carpet in the TV room. I have really been enjoying it because he has excellent LP's including Electric Light Orchestra, Dire Straits, Kiss, and The B52's. Personally, I have been wileing away my time by writing thnak you cards for wedding gifts. This is a tedious process after a while. 12 down, seventy-something to go? Ah well.
