Buy this song from:
My First Record PlayerLOCATION: Christmas at My House , IllinoisYEAR: 1959TAGS: First Record PlayerPUBLISHED: March 6, 2008Christmas 1959. I had been very, very sure my parents knew I wanted a record player for Christmas. Very sure!!! And there it was on Christmas morning. I was 11 years old. It was a record player most have never seen. It was in a little suitcase affair, turquoise in color (how 50's is THAT?). I could play 45's or 33's on it. The records my parents selected to go with it were: Running Bear (loved little White Dove) Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley - Kingston Trio And the Chipmunk Song - ALVIN!!!! By nightfall, my parents were sure of two things: Every word of every song on those records and that they should have bought MORE records!!! But I was so happy with my Christmas present that year and they definitely knew it. Â

Mine was red not turquoise and I loved it. I'm sure I had everyone of those...
I'm sure my parents were glad they'd waited so they did't have to listen to a record of "The Witchdoctor" or "The One-eyed, One-horned Flying Purple People Eater". Trips down memory land are always nice. Glad you liked the trip. (3/17/2008)
