K-Tel

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and start thinking about the oddest things! Last night was a prime example. For whatever reason I started remembering old 'K-Tel' records commercials. For those of you reading this who are thinking 'records?' I mean VINYL music disks! Yes...I am old enough to have been around for them. In fact I have a whole BOX of them in our shed...most of the artists are dead now...I have Elvis...Sonny and Cher...yah..I am THAT old! ;)
Anywho...the one commercial I remembered in particular was the one when K-Tel came out with this nifty contraption you could put your records into..sort of like little slots..then all you had to do was slowly pull the first one towards you and all the others would slowly flip so you could go through your records easier to select which one you wanted to hear. My father was a 'gadget' NUT. We owned them all. The blitz hacker (I kid you not, that was it's name!), potatoe fry cutters...you name it we had it. He was like a man possessed when it came to gadgets. And so...we were one of the first families I knew who had the K-Tel record storage/flipper thingy...in fact, we actually had TWO! Yes..TWO. We rocked! Literally! :)

Hugs to all,
