I called 45's "little records". My mother was a seamstress in a factory most all my life and she brought home these industrial size spools that thread was on and we stacked those "little records" on the thread spools. My folks divorced when I was 8 so they both ran pretty wild after that. My mom would have parties at the house after we went to bed and all these weed smoking folks that were bringing a "lid" ( a 15 dollar four finger bag) to the parties would forget their albums. Once they left them there I made sure to slide them back out of site so they never found them again HAHA! So because of them I fell in love with Jimi Hendrix, Allman Brothers and Zeppelin. I blew the speakers out of my mom's old heavy ass console stereo with green velvet in the front speakers. That friggin thing ate 8 track tapes like it was going out of style. I know my mom purchased Eagles Greatest Hits, Frampton Comes Alive and Ohio Players Fire about 3 times each cause of the stereo devouring 8 tracks.
When my son was about 10 we went to a garage sale and he points and says,"mom what is that?" I look over and it's 8 tracks! Hah! I had an 8 track jam box that ran on big old expensive D batteries. When I was 18 I bought a 66 comet caliente for 500 dollars and got my drivers license while that 8 track jam box was in the back seat playing the sound track from Cheech and Chong. I will never forget "Lowrider" was playing. I went to the drivers license center, took my test and then the driving test instructor walked up and it was a girl I went to school with. We drove down the road, pulled over for a cigarette. Listened to Lowrider and headed back to the DL center where I of course passed with flying colors!
Anytime I hear lowrider I think about my license and being in my ride Clyde the caliente Comet!
