🎧 Christmas 1964 | Dad bought Mom a #Magnavox "console stereo system." A low-slung major piece of furniture. It was "mid-century modern" I learned in the 90s and looked like something #Sinatra might have had at his #PalmSprings 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 #JuniorWalker & #TheAllStars (1965).
