From the time I was nine or ten, I was a major player in the world of show biz. (especially country music!)
With my own portable record player- it would play 45s- I would blast out my passions in our basement. (I cohabitated our one-room basement wiht our furnace)
If my allowance was not spent on a item of clothing for my particular style at school, it was spent on 45s.
I was not big on the fashion scene.
One holey pair of sneakers was enough for me. Nothing fancy… I would rather be barefoot. Blue jeans and T-shirts would complete my trendsetting attire.
Because of my economical clothing budget, I was able to acquire many (MANY) 45s. (Wish I still had them!)
Here are three of my favorites. Enjoy… Mr. Roger Miller.
***We shared the same first name…
…And I knew that one day I would be as famous a singer as Mr. Miller.
King of the Road.
Dang Me
Do Wacka Do
I suspect my mother was very relieved when I started into junior high chorus and knew more singers than Roger Miller.
Written for The Daily Post: Record I have been having problems finding something of meaning to create an answer for the prompts this year. So I decided to strengthen and tighten my focus. My topics for the month of March are as follows: (Monday) Teaching and Life; (Tuesday) Hobbies: Archaeology and Astronomy; (Wednesday) Fitness; (Thursday) Chores; (Friday) Writing; (Saturday) Hobbies: Music and Photography; and (Sunday) Hobbies: Gardening and Birdwatching.
It's All in Finding the Right Words 
Yes, I remember it. When I was a teenager, my father bought audio component. After that I gathered my money to buy 45s.
Thanks for your old reflection post.

Enjoyed looking back in time and listening to Roger Miller. I had forgotten about him. I use to have a whole selection of music on the old 45’s.

My mother was grateful when he was not my #1 idol for singer. His song topics were a bit much for her. I’m not sure I thought much about the words? I just loved the punch lines.

Coincidentally a few weeks ago my parents gave me my old 45s which were taking up room at their house. I bought a new turntable and yesterday sorted through them all, chose 50 to keep downstairs and put the rest in the loft.

A wide range, some Abba, Guns ‘N Roses, Laura Brannigan, Crash Test Dummies… there were also some big duds (I’m sure I felt they were a good idea at the time!).
