I had one just like it! That picture really sparked some memories.<br /><br />I remember my parents getting the phonograph ready for me on Christmas eve while we were supposed to be sleeping; and I peeked out the bedroom door to see it. I can't tell you how THRILLED I was, knowing I was going to get it. <br /><br />Next up: my foray into go-go dancing. I have to say I <i>rocked</i> that . . . Bet you did too, right?
