My Dad was a navy man, and he also loved music.
Even as a senior citizen, he moved effortlessly between Vinyl, Reel-to-reel, Cassettes, CD’s and DVD’s, and his musical tastes were fearless! :-)
“My dad...Vinyl, Reel-to-reel, Cassettes, CD’s and DVD’s...”
I took the same path.
I’m sure your dad bought many albums at base Navy Exchanges. Plentiful, cheap music! I used to hide albums behind clothing display stands
until payday so they wouldn’t get bought out from under me.
And now...microSD!
Will soon be in the process of converting several hundred old vinyls to digital...which will ultimately wind up on the smartphone microSD. A couple hundred cds already reside there.
Love gigabytes.
