New music

We got a new way of music in the home.
Or very old. Depends how you look at it.

I wanted to have a record player for a long time now.
Haven't owned one since i was a young girl.
Lately i have been thrifting old records a lot. Some for the music, some just for the amazing cover illustrations.
But getting those albums and not even being able to listen to them is just not that much fun.
I was a bit torn to either buy a recordplayer new style, one that i can attach to my computer and thus being able to transfer the music to digital files, or buy one of those amazing vintage players. For now i chose to opt for a modern one. Yes, vintage loving Issey went for hightech! Ha. But i know that if i run into a wonderful vintage player on one of my thift hunts i might get that too. One day.

Hehe. Two Roxannes in one post!
Roxanne 1, thanks for stopping by, glad you like my blog. You are always welcome!

Roxanne 2 (Roxy) don't worry about the confusion. I can handle it. ;)

You can buy very expensive record players, you know the ones professional DJ's use, but there are more affordable ones out there too. I will email you this weekend ok? I GOT YOUR PACKAGE! and I LOVE IT! Thank you sososo much.
