Vintage Record Player

Saturday reading and listening with our son Dylan. :-) Here are some photos of our old portable phonograph (turntable) and read along books w/ 33 1/3 RPM records.

Thanks to Mama Lou, Dylan's grandmother, for sending these books with records. One of our favorites: Little Boy with a Big Horn by Jack Bechdolt with pictures by Aurelius Battaglia. It was released by Little Golden Book & Record in 1976.

24 page book with lovely illustration in full color and a 7 inch 33 1/3 RPM long playing record.

The story is about a little boy named Ollie who wants to learn how to play the big bass horn, however his mother and everyone in the town can't stand the noise.

Ollie mother said, "Please, NOT in the house, Ollie, I can't think straight about my housework."

So Ollie went to the ocean where he could play the big horn without disturbing anybody. However, something happened which turned him into a town hero. In the end, Ollie was able to play his horn as much as he like. :-)

Until next time. Have a nice weekend!
