I have been playing records that I bought when I was a little kid. Most are 45's.
I had a paper route when I was 9 or 10 and I remember getting my pay and going to the record store and buying an album or a 45 record.
So far I have listened to:
Donovan
Jefferson Airplane
Jimmy Hendrix
The Zombies
The moody blues(I spent my whole weeks pay for that album)
Traffic
The 1st Addition
The Outsiders
Janice Joplin
The Byrds
Procal Haram
CCR
The Animals
Badfinger
And more.............................
My wife is working from home and has come down to the basement and asked me to turn it down 3 times. She reminds me of my parents. She came down and showed me where my head phones are as if I didn't know. I was jamming on Neil Diamond(Girl you'll be a woman soon)
She is not a fan of Donovan..........................Atlantis

The next year, 16 years old, she was working at a coffee shop and had her playlist going. Hendrix, Albert King and SRV, Airplane, Tame Impala, Ten Years After and shredding Alvin Lee, and some old hippie burnout had been in there for hours nursing a coffee and a paper. He came up to the counter for a refill and said "Whose tunes are these?" and she grinned and said "mine". He looked her up and down and broke into a big grin and said "your daddy done good". She took that as a HUGE compliment, and we still fight over the radio in the car when we're driving, trying to show each other something new and cool and obscure on our playlists.

I read where Bill Hayes version was #1, Fess Parker's version was #6 and Tennessee Ernie Ford's version reached #4. All three versions made the Billboard Magazine charts in 1955. I think that's the only time that's ever happened with 3 different singers. A fourth version, by bluegrass singer Mac Wiseman reached #10 on the radio charts in May 1955. The song also reached #1 on the Cash Box charts, from March 26 through May 14, 1955.
You couldn't go any where without seeing kids in coonskin hats and carrying a flint lock pistol. I had mine too.
Sons don't understand big speakers and high power amps.
I spend about 50% of my music time listening to Vinyl or CDs out in my room, "The Boonies"; the other 50% watching Concert DVDs with our Family Room Surround System. I bought all of my Vinyl in the 60's and 70's; a few in the 80's.
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

😁 That second one is funny! The Battle of New Orleans is....well I listen to it several times a week!!! That song really ticked of the Brits. So, Johnny responded with Sink the Bismarck!!! I suspect that he probably made Johnny Reb so as to appease the yanks with a good reference to Lincoln as Honest Abe, after he made Battle of Bull Run, which didn't get wide exposure!!! Wonder why?! Johnny's grandparents lived a few blocks from where my folks lived back then in Rusk, Texas. Some still live there.
Here's one song that I liked back in the 50s:
