🎧 Christmas 1964 | Dad bought Mom a "console stereo system." A low-slung major piece of furniture. It was "mid-century modern" I learned in the 90s and looked like something might have had at his home.

She was a music freak (I inherited that gene), and bought 45s on payday.

One, I remember doing "The Jerk" with her to in that living room is "Shotgun" from & (1965).
