It could have been a simpler time

One time we had these simple pleasures that brought us together.

The sharing around a piece of Vinyl.

We held this 7 inch round object.

Record`s they were called. Shared view, listened, looked at gatefold sleeve..

Took them round to youth club, other mates homes.

Had strange boxes held around 50 singles, under our arms we had Album's.

Average single track time was 3 minutes. Albums were for us as our intellect developed.

Record player was gathering place, sharing ,listening, observing.

Like stated." It was a simpler time "?

Shops that sold Vinyl were plenty, places we worshipped in. We had enjoyment, fun, but the years went so fast. 

But music still plays. Emotional buzz stirs, psychoanalysis returns, twist, stirs within hearts and minds.
