flummoxed

For anyone over thirty, you might have grown up using one of these......

But I was still flummoxed when both Bethany (aged 10) and Aaron (aged 13) told me that they'd never witnessed an old vinyl record being played on a record player.

So I showed them, and neither were that impressed.

I suppose I shouldn't be too crestfallen. Technology is advancing at an alarming rate. Part of me is just a Luddite when it comes to a recorded music experience.

Don't get me wrong - I've embraced the digital format for all it's worth. But there's still something earthy and REAL about playing the old vinyl. My Beatles collection is proof of that.
