When today’s high schoolers reach middle age, it seems unlikely that they’ll stumble across a box of old mp3s when cleaning out their garage. There’s something to be said for the days of tangible media.
Middle-aged Mormon Man recently came across a box of record albums that is sure to bring a flood of memories, fond and otherwise, for those of us anywhere near middle-age. (How long has it been since you thought about Jonathan Livingston Seagull?)
The post is a charming walk down memory lane, although MMM does get at least one fact wrong: when Olivia was singing “I Honestly Love You,” she wasn’t secretly singing it to him; she was singing it to me.
Visit A Box of Memories: High School Vinyl and ‘fess up how many of these albums you had in your collection.
Dennis:
Just a quick clarification. I was, indeed, singing to the boy now known as “Middle-aged Mormon Man”. I am so sorry to disappoint, but thanks for the sweet tought
Love,
Olivia
Thank you for the clarification, Olivia. It’s all coming back now. In fact, upon further reflection, I now recall that the song you were actually secretly singing to me was “Hopelessly Devoted to You.” Apologies for the mix-up; it’s been a little while!
