Silhouettes and figures stay, Close to what he had to say, And one more time the faded dream, Is saddened by the news
When I was young before I had cassettes, the only good way of making a playlist of songs was to stack 45s on the turntable. I would arrange them to play my favorite songs in my favorite order. These posts are about records I had in my stacks.
